SHED-ROOF OPEN-AIR HOUSE. 



This is a very simple and inexpensive house. It can be built ten 

 feet wide by fourteen or sixteen feet deep, or it can be built as a con- 

 tinuous house and divided into sections that size. If it is built in sec- 

 tions you should board up a solid partition between every two or three 

 sections to prevent a sweep of draft. Cover the opening on the south 

 with one-inch mesh galvanized wire. We also recommend that you 

 make a light frame to fit the opening on the south side of the house 

 and cover this with cheap muslin, to be lowered in severe weather. 

 You can make this house in units ten feet wide, or up to hundred, 

 or as long as you like. 



FRONT ELEVATION 

 A good suggestion for a cheap shed-roof poultry house. 



If this house is built on the continuous plan, you may move the 

 roosts three feet nearer the front and make a passageway or hallway 

 three feet wide, the entire length of the building, with doors open- 

 ing from the hallway to each section of the house. You can then go 

 down this hallway to feed the birds without going into their pens and 

 disturbing them. You can also run a wheelbarrow down the hallway
