The three poultry house plans furnished in this bulletin have 

 been designated as follows : 



A-Shaped Portable Poultry House, 

 Iowa Colony House, 

 Farm Poultry House. 



A-SHAPED PORTABLE COLONY HOUSE 



Fig. 1 Front View of A-Shaped Portable Poultry House. 



It is more convenient to lay the prepared roofing over the ridge instead of 

 lengthwise as shown. 



This A-shaped movable colony home is cheap and light and 

 has been thoroughly tried out and found to be very satisfactory 

 for raising chicks in flocks of 200 to 300. It will winter from 

 15 to 20 hens. The house is 8x10 feet and because of its light- 

 ness and substantial construction it can be readily moved from 

 place to place on the skids which furnish the foundation for 

 the house. It is warm and the fowls are well protected from 

 drafts. It is convenient and the minimum of work will be re- 

 quired to care for the flocks.
