Annual Coop Tours


            One hobby that continues to grow in interest is the raising backyard chickens. This stems from families having the desire to grow their own food and from youth bringing home chicks from their classroom’s Egg to Chick project. Either way we are excited that we are in the middle of a chicken frenzy around here!

            Join us for the 4th Annual Wise Chicks Coop Tour on May 3rd! The day will start out with a presentation by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension staff on “Raising Chickens 101” at 10am at the Women’s building at the Wise County Fair Grounds. Maps will be provided at the end of the educational session and participants are encouraged to continue on will a self-guided Coop tour throughout the county.

            All locations will be marked with yellow coop tour signs so keep your eyes out. The best part about the tour is that each coop and the chicks that reside there are different! This event is fun for the whole family especially since raising chickens is not a project limited by age.

            If you have questions, please get in touch with tour organizer, Susan Simich, by calling 940-225-4740 or on the website: http://wisechickcooptour.com.
