FAQ's
Why a coop tour?
For community fellowship and sharing/gathering coop design ideas for those thinking about getting backyard chickens.
How do I enter my coop?
Deadline for application submission is January 23.
What kinds of coops will be on the tour?
We're aiming for a wide range. We want to show diversity... be it the inexpensive shanty's to the elaborate palace's. The more variety the better!
How do I protect my flock from diseases when I go to the different coops on the tour?
There will either be foot baths or footlets used at each site to help keep any possible diseases from spreading.
How long do you have to have raised chickens to be on the tour?
There's no minimum requirement.
What areas of town will the coops be in?
Wide spread throughout Austin.
If I put my coop on the tour, how will I get to see the other coops on the tour?
There will be a preview weekend open only to those people displaying their coops on the tour. That way, everyone will have a chance to participate in the touring.
This sounds fun. How does it work? We get the map and find the places on our own schedule?
The map will be available here in March on the blog where it says "Where: Click here for google map of coops. (map available in mid March)". The "here" will(in mid March) lead you to a Google map of all the locations which you can print out and pick the locations you want to go to. This is a self-guided tour, so come to each location at your leisure as long as it's within the time limit(10-4:30).
Will I be able to purchase a coop at any of the sites?
We believe in supporting local business and will have some local coop builders' coops on display at select sites. Some sites will also have the builders on site to answer questions and take orders. This information will be listed in the coop descriptions.
Will the tour be rescheduled if it rains?
No, the tour will go on rain or shine.
Will there be any coops that are not listed on the map that will be on the tour?
No, only the coops listed on the Google map will be on the tour.
Do I have to visit the coops in a particular order?
No, you do not have to visit the coops in any particular order. All the coops on the coop tour will be open for visitors between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on the tour day.
