The finished backside of the coop~shingles and all!
Last September, Traverse City joined a number of forward thinking communities that allow city residents to raise chickens. To celebrate, I’m joining a few other city chicken farmers and chicken enthusiasts to plan Traverse City’s first Tour de Coop. Imagine, a parade of homes for chickens! It’s sure to be a great time and is tentatively scheduled for June.
Molly, the soon-to-arrive chicks and I are participating, but we’re on the lookout for other Traverse City Urban Chicken Farmers.
This sounds really cool. In my past, I worked for Purina Mills and we recognized the growing trend of “family flocks” way back 15 or so years ago. At that time, it was a growing suburban trend. Now I see its continued to urban climes. Fab. Can’t wait to hear how many folks in Traverse City are on the coop tour!
I would love to be a part of the tour – but I don’t think my Lake Ann girls qualify as being urban chickens (even though we are in a subdivision). Maybe I’ll stop by the meeting though to chat chickens with others
You’re probably right, LA is a bit of a haul. But, I’m sure you’re full of good ideas!
