The Thiee Pen Pigeon House 



We are piiljlishing still another type of open tVoiu Ihhisc oi 

 what closely ajiproaches an open front sinictin-c. The lions/ 

 can he ))uilt in one section or as many sections as may '» 

 desired but for convenience we have -shown it in the three 

 pen form here. 



Each pen will actually accommodate from twenty-four to 

 twenty-six pairs of birds thongli \\e recommend that only twentj 

 pairs be housed in any one section. This house lias the greater 

 portion of the front open and is so designed that in winter a 

 batten door and sash may be installed to Ivcep the house wariii 

 on cold nights. This type of liouse lias been tried our by thi; 

 writer and has given entire satisfaction in every way thougn 

 its shape recjuires more space to accommodate a given number 

 of birds than our open front house shown in plan number one. 

 Houses of this type liavo been quite popular with pigeon 

 breeders.
