166 EGGS AND POULTRY 
Don’t put on a cheap roof or neglect to do 
anything in the building of your houses that 
will help protect your birds. 
Don’t at any time allow your little chick- 
ens to crowd. If you use houses as planned 
here you will be fairly safe but if you experi- 
ment with other houses watch this point, as 
more deaths occur from crowding than from 
disease. 
Don’t house 
any chickens in a 
house without a 
tight floor, raised 
off the ground. 
Don’t forget to 
close up tight all 
houses at night to 
keep out maraud- 
ers and the next caution will be unnecessary. 
Don’t allow little chickens to get out in the 
early morning (when the hawks are after 
their breakfasts) until some person is there 
to protect them. 
Don’t move little chickens from house to 
house except when absolutely necessary, as 
the moving is likely to retard their growth. 
The plan of this book calls for one moving. 
Don’t move them to a new house without 
Feed Trough for growing stock.
