Raffle tickets are now on sale for this choice chicken tractor.

The Coop Tour is an all-island driving tour of interesting and captivating chicken coops from Oak Harbor to Langley.
The custom chicken tractor is made of high-quality teak wood. Raffle tickets are on sale at Skagit Farmers Supply in Freeland and Oak Harbor for $5. Included are two live chicks and a chick starter kit, compliments of Skagit Farmers Supply.
The prize is valued at $1,500; the drawing will be on Saturday, March 6.
