I love the idea of doing a Tour de Coop like they do in Portland or Raleigh. See the link below for Portland's fun annual event. I keep tossing the idea around of doing a Heights Coop Crawl or Tour de Coop of our own, and have even gotten a few other area chicken farmers on board, but when it comes down to it I am too lazy or busy to actually organize it. One of these days I will though. Trick is to open it up to interested folks but keep the authorities away since our hobby is actually still illegal in the City of Houston (shame I know). One idea is to make it a biking tour and offer egg based cocktails at each stop. Other things I would like to do with my life if I had 10 free minutes include: changing the city ordinance to allow urban chickens (within reason), protest Heights area Walmart and other bad developments, get my nails done, get botox, go to the doctor for the pnumonia I think I have had for a month, go to Spain for a month of language classes, and oh yeah- spend more time with my kids. So once I get those 10 free minutes I am going to plan this Tour de Coops I swear! Stay posted for dates.
