ating opening at the top. The four corn-

When the floor is covered with hay seed, 
it makes a cozy little hover. The partition

in at night, making an animal proof house. 
Roosts can be put in the other 4 foot end. 
Later the little chicks may be shut out of 
the hover and made to roost, this end, of: 
course, being wired up with an additional 
hinged door to allow the chickens to run in

_ BROODER AND INCUBATOR HOUSE 
| If you desire to build up a large flock 
by incubating: the eggs from your own stock, 
it will be necessary for you to have some 
form of incubator cellar and brooder house. 
The photograph and drawings show a 
very convenient and economical form of 
building for these purposes. The incubator 
cellar will accomodate 4 good sized incu- 
bators totaling 900 egg capacity, and is 
partly below ground. 
The hovers and run will in turn take 
care of the little chicks hatched in these 
incubators until they are three weeks old 
when they can be moved to the outdoor 
Colony brooder houses.
