City Chicken Coop Tour

Did you know that Seattle has become known as a world-class chicken destination?  We'll prove it!  This is your chance to talk with the chicken keepers in the city of Seattle about building coops, the varieties of birds they keep and the eggs they provide.  Maybe it will inspire you to finally build that coop you've been daydreaming about.  New this year, the tour will also include homes that are raising goats, ducks, and bees.

In this self-guided, mapped tour through Seattle neighborhoods you will see simple coops built in an afternoon and elaborate houses that took weeks of planning and building!  You will enjoy seeing the many different varieties of chicken breeds that people keep and learning about these lovely backyard pets.

There will be group tour stops in four Seattle neighborhood areas - northwest, northeast, southeast/central, and southwest.  A car or strong biking ability is suggested to go from home to home.

Tickets are $30 or $25 for Seattle Tilth members, and each City Chickens Tour Map allows a family or four individuals to participate.  Actual tour maps will be sent out to ticket holders the week of July 6th.
