from the sun or rain; in cold or very stormy 

 weather it may be lowered flat against the front. 



This coop is rather small for adult fowls, except 

 bantams, but with the addition of one or two small 

 glass windows it makes a fairly satisfactory one- 

 pen house for four or five medium-sized fowls. It 

 is light and easy to move, and may be carried with- 

 out much exertion from one part of the premises 

 to another, thus giving the fowls the benefit of 

 new ground and fresh vegetation. 



The "Roosting Coop for Chicks After Wean- 

 ing" illustrated on another page, is 3 x 6 feet in 

 size, three feet high in the front and two feet high 

 in the rear. Not more than twenty-five chicks 

 should be housed in a coop of this size. A perch 

 runs the entire length of the coop a half-foot from 

 the rear wall. Such a small coop gives satisfactory 

 results only in pleasant weather or when located in 

 a well-protected place.
