RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Chicken connoisseurs in North Carolina’s capital city are holding their annual tour of backyard pens, part of a national movement of backyard poultry farming.

Raleigh holds its ninth annual Tour D’ Coop event on Saturday. The one-day tour of chicken coops and urban farms collects food and money for Urban Ministries, a non-profit that helps the homeless and hungry.
