This is designed for individual brooders, but the 

 pipe system can be used. After the chicks are old 

 enough the brooders can be removed, a board fitted in 

 the partition and a movable platform and roost placed

 seasons of the year. Another style of house is shown 

 in Figure 73, which is twelve by sixteen feet in size.

 brooders with fifty chicks in each brooder and allow 

 a pen three feet wide for each. Small holes are cut in 

 each pen and yards thirty feet long built in front. A 

 sectional hot water brooder shown in Figure 74 may be 

 used to advantage in such a house. Still another style 

 of house is shown in Fig^lre 75.
