Second Annual PeCK Tour de Coop, December 8, 2012
We had 12 coops featured in our second annual Tour de Coop! Tour stops were geographically spread between Lanexa, Williamsburg, Newport News, and York County. There was a nice variety of styles and sizes of coops and chickens (guineas and turkeys, too!), and a variety of creative approaches to common chickeny conundrums. One thing I've learned from our experience and visiting other flocks: No coop is ever complete -- always something new to try!
Some stops provided shoe covers to protect their flocks from possible disease from other flocks, which can be tracked on people's shoes; this, or an antibacterial shoe bath, is a good precaution whenever you visit between flocks. Thanks to all the hosts and the visitors! Let's plan another one for this coming fall! -Carol
