THE UTILITY POULTRY HOUSE 



AND YARD ON ROLLERS 



Easily moved about about by hand. 



Dimensions 10 feet by 10 feet. 



Accommodates 18 fowls. 



Economizes space, as the floor partly 

 covers the yard, the roosts are hung 

 above the floor and the nests above 

 the roosts. 



A small ventilating door dt the top in- 

 sures fresh air. 



Floor easily cleaned in one minute with 

 a hoe. 



Separate doors and openings to yard, 

 floor and nests. 



Moved about a space of ground 15x30 will 

 give the hens fresh green and clean 

 ground all the time, as by the time the 

 house is moved over the ground that 

 it hrst occupied the grass and weeds 

 will have had time to grow again. 



In the winter the snow may be removed 

 from,!a space and the yard moved 



Protected and ma 



over to the ground, preventing snow 

 eating. 



Warm in winter, as the house conserves 

 the animal heat to an extent as the 

 ventilating door at the top is closed. 



The high pitch of the roof prevents 

 leaks. 



Floor above ground shut off at night pro- 

 tects from rats, foxes, skunks, etc. 



Provides fresh, clean yard continuously. 



Improves trees near which it is allowed 

 to stand. 



Fertilizes the ground, keeps chickens 

 out of the garden, as the yard is en- 

 closed at top. 



Nests. Roosts, Floor and Yard all com- 

 bined. 



Is in fact positively the best thing in a 

 poultry home for a colony ever put 

 out.
