fig. 94). E, F, D, G and H are living and roosting rooms, 
each 6x10, with nest boxes 1, 2, 3, 4. The partitions and 
doors (See 1 and 5 of fig. 94) are closely boarded to the 
height of 2 ft., above which is poultry netting. N, O, K. L, 
M are the scratching sheds — single boarded. In the roof 
are placed windows (8) sufficient to admit plenty of light. 
Two large windows (13, 13) are also placed in each end. 
At 9, 9, 9^ 9, 9 are placed windows over the small doors to 
allow plenty of light to the living rooms. The partitions 
here too are boarded to a height of 2 ft. Poultry wire is 
excellent for these purposes in order to admit free diffusion 
of the light admitted through the roof. No floor is placed in 
the scratching shed. Large doors are placed at 10 (the front 
door), 16, 15 and 14 to allow free access with a wheelbarrow 
if necessary. 14 may be merely a storm door, 16 as well as 
all the other partition doors are boarded up 2 ft. from the 
bottom, the remaining portion of slats or netting. 10 and 16 
are warmly built and well fitted.
