Portable Poultry Houses and Colony Houses 



Buckeye Colony Houses 



Bolgiano's "Square-Deal" Portable Poultry Houses 



The value of a Colony house is no longer ques- 

 tioned. Every experieneed Breeder uses them — 

 can'tgetalong without them. The most "ticklish" 

 period of chicken life is when it leaves the brooder, 

 at the time it first starts to roost and shows a ten- 

 dency to do all the "fool things" that young chick- 

 ens do. That's the time when things must be fixed 

 just right, or failure will result. 



Buckeye Colony Houses are six feet long and 

 three feet wide just large enough for SO chicks. 



The roost is only a foot from the ground and its 

 the kind of roost that a chick will use. eitherhouse 

 can be "set up or taken down" in ten minutes and 

 the only tool necessary is a screw driver. 



We have had these houses specially built for 

 us. They are made of Ji pine boards, plained 

 both sides, tongued and grooved and painted 

 a beautiful lead color. Roof is covered with 

 our heaviest 3 ply "Square-Deal Rubber Roof- 

 ing — well tacked and cemented. All complete 

 with dropping boards, roosts and nests.

 from the weather. These houses are shipped

The Townsend Trap Nest 



The Townsend Trap Nest is a reliable trap nest. 

 It is also an automatic setting or laying nest. By 

 the use of the trap nest, one is liable to secure a 

 laying record of the hen, breed up a large laying 

 strain, keep an accurate and separate record of 

 each hen and weed out the poor and non-layers. 

 In fact, it enables you to breed up your poultry on 

 whatever line you desire, whatever it be for eggs, 

 flesh, form or plumage. Price, $1.50 each. Per 

 Dozen Nests $15.00. 



Buckeye Portable Poultry House 



We have the reputation of building "The Best 

 Poultry House on the market" and the best part 

 of that reputation, "we earned it". 



It's mighty poor economy to save a few dollars 

 in buying a house and lose twice as many chickens 

 that die from roupor cold. The roosts are placed 

 at the furthest from the openings. That prevents 

 roup and cold. The lumber used in these houses 

 is one-inch dressed pine flooring. All tongued and 

 grooved together so thatitkeepsout the wind, rain 

 and snow. It takes ten minutes to erect a Buckeye 

 Portable House, or ten minutes to take one down. 



Bolgiano's "Square-Deal" Combined Laying And Scratching House 



Buckeye Open Front Portable House 



Notice the difference in the two houses, one has 

 two doors in the front, one door is covered with 

 wire screen, the other is covered with water-proof 

 cloth. This house is called Open Front— Fresh 

 Air — no yard pian Chickens kept in this style of 

 house get no Free range w.iatever. They are 

 placed in the house as pullets and never leave it 

 until they go to the butchers block or the table. 

 The outside door which is covered with water- 

 proof cloth is only closed at night and in stormy 

 weather and even when the door is closed there is 

 a free circulation of fresh air through the house 

 all the time. 



If birds are kept for laying purposes it will be 

 found that the egg production will be i.Tlher in- 

 creased than decreased by using the Open Front 

 House and you'll never be troubled with roup or 

 cold.
