The Galveston Island Chicken Shack Strut is a one-day self-guided tour of coastal chicken coops, hen houses, mobile tractors and crazy shacks. Open to adults and children, the tour will showcase island chickens and their keepers and demonstrate how more and more city dwellers are incorporating chickens into their yards and lifestyles. Visitors will be able to talk to owners about coops, feed, breeds, costs and their experiences raising healthy chickens in an urban environment. This is a rain or shine event.

Proceeds from the tour benefit the Seawall Interpretive Trail (SIT) beautification program lead by Artist Boat, a Galveston nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and preservation of coastal margins and the marine environment through the disciplines of science and art.
