If you’re one of those people who spends twenty minutes trying to decide which eggs to buy at the grocery store (weighing free range against cost against organic), maybe it’s time to buckle down and invest in some chickens.

I get all my eggs from my sister, who keeps six or so chickens and has more eggs than she knows what to do with—they taste good, they’re free, and I have nary a qualm about consuming them.

If your thoughts have ever run along those lines, tomorrow is the 4th Annual Tour de Coops, a goofy name for a cool little event designed by local non-profit Growing Gardens to “educate Portland chicken and bird lovers on urban chicken keeping and provide ideas for new and creative ways [of] housing your chickens in your very own backyard.”

$5 will get you a tour booklet listing the 17 Metro-area chicken keepers who are opening up their coops for the event, so if you’ve ever been interested in keeping chickens in the city, or in seeing how other urban dwellers have made it work, tomorrow is your chance.

Pick up a tour booklet from 10 am-1 pm tomorrow at Garden Fever (3433 NE 24th) or the People’s Food Co-Op (3029 SE 21st); the coops themselves will be open from 11 am-3 pm.
