What is the Purpose of the Coop Tour?

Submitted by tired_gardener on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 12:18

Knowing what our purpose is in having a tour will help us to determine some of the rules and how things will be organized. There are a few reasons for such a tour, but lets discuss what yours might be. Some possible reasons for the tour (these are my reasons)

Have fun with like minded people that like chickens.
Educate friends, neighbors, relatives, strangers about the wonders that are chicken.
Learn from other chicken people.
Encourage others to live more sustainably.

Yes, we do need to be concerned about biosecurity. We have discussed this some already. I think that instead of booties (which are disposable and costly) we are going to use foot wash stations (bleach and water that the visitors step in).

Like the Tour de Coop does, do we need to be concerned with having people wear booties to each others coops in case of spreading something?
