POULTRY HOUSES RECOMMENDED 63 
As the chickens get near the broiler 
size, the cockerels which are readily distin- 
guished from the pullets if your breed is the 
Leghorn, can be removed to a separate pen 
for special fattening. The additional space 
thus made will allow for the extra growth so 
the pullets can be left in this house they 
are accustomed to, until final removal to 
their winter quarters. The houses should be 
set 40 to 50 feet apart so each flock will

learn to know its own house. If when first 
moved from the heated brooder to the 
colony house, a wire run is used to keep them 
by their house. They will become accus- 
tomed to it and always use it. 
When used as a brooder house the corners 
of the house should be rounded out with 
Beaver board, tin or other material to pre- 
vent chicks crowding into the square 
corners.
