FIG. 2 PRACTICAL GROUND PLAN FOR A LARGE COMMERCIAL POULTRY PLANT 



In the proportions here indicated this plan calls for about 10 acres, but it can readily be expanded or reduced to 

 meet individual requirements, without any material change in arrangement of departments. This sketch is drawn to 

 scale, except the range, which is reduced at broken lines to keep within page limits. Chick nursery and home garden 

 are to be alternated to keep the soil free from disease germs. Yards and pens are planned for 100-hen flocks but if Leg- 

 horns are kept the flocks probably will be much larger and most of the division fences omitted. The orchard on the 

 ri^ht side affords ideal quarters for breeding fowls and brooder chicks confined to temporary yards when necessary. 

 When the chicks are able to look out for themselves they are to be transferred to the larger ranse in the rear.
