Mid-Valley Voice

Curious about keeping chickens in town?
The Corvallis Environmental Center will feature an array of backyard chickens and ducks living in Corvallis. Participants will learn how to design an effective coop and incorporate fowl into gardens of all sizes.

See mobile coops, straw bale coops, passive solar and automatic doors created by the eight families featured on the tour. Participants receive a self-guided map containing information on the coops and fowl-keeping facts.

The tour is sponsored by the CECs Edible Corvallis Initiative to increase home food production and help create a just and sustainable food system in the mid-Willamette Valley.
