The Troy Coalition for Sustainable Living is sponsoring a free, self-guided tour of backyard chicken coops from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18.
Keeping backyard birds is more than just fresh eggs and meat. Join the tour and see several different ways to successfully raise backyard chickens in an urban setting. See the variety of birds and coops and learn about caring for and enjoying chickens. They provide manure to feed your compost and garden soil, they are entertaining and they contribute food security in our community.
There are six locations on the free tour. Maps can be picked up on the day of the Tour de Coop starting at 1 p.m. at the following locations:
— 384 2nd Street, South Troy
— 63 Mellon Avenue (between Hoosick Street and South Lake Avenue)
For more information, contact Billie-Jean Greene at 321-5470
