The  Henyard 
Construction  of  Poultry-house  and  Red  and  Silver  Leghorns;  White 
Brooder 
Wyandottes 
Could  you  give  me  a  bill  of  materials, 
kind  of  lumber  and  dimensions  for  a 
24x24-ft.  henhouse  and  a  10x24-ft. 
brooder?  The  henhouse  to  be  of  the  shed- 
roof  type,  with  double  floors  (wooden) 
raised  off  the  ground  18  in.  at  the  lowest 
point.  Walls  and  roof  to  be  of  tongue- 
and-groove  material,  covered  with  roofing 
paper.  Roofing  paper  need  not  be  con¬ 
sidered  in  bill  of  materials,  as  it  can  be 
obtained  locally  as  scrap  and  seconds. 
House  to  be  9  ft.  in  front  and  4%  ft.  in 
rear.  Expect  to  have  double  walls  over 
and  behind  drop  boards,  since  expect  to 
use  ventilators.  IIow  far  from  floor 
underneath  drop  boards  should  this  double 
wall  extend?  What  size  opening  should 
be  allowed  for  sashes  and  curtains?  Do 
you  think  there  is  any  advantage  in  put¬ 
ting  roofing  paper  on  the  studs  and  nail¬ 
ing  siding  over  paper  and  painting  wood 
or  putting  paper  on  the  outside  and 
Recently  in  looking  through  a  poultry 
journal  I  saw  two  advertisements  which 
caught  my  attention.  One  was  for  Red 
Leghorns  and  the  other  was  for  Silver 
Leghorns.  In  all  of  my  reading  of  The 
R.  N.-Y.  I  have  never  seen  any  mention 
of  two  such  varieties  of  Leghorns.  Could 
you  tell  me  if  any  such  varieties  exist? 
What  is  their  appearance,  where  did  they 
originate,  and  of  what  value  are  they  to 
poultrymen?  Would  you  also  give  me 
some  information  about  Wyandottes? 
How  do  they  compare  with  other  breeds 
as  egg  producers  and  profit  payers? 
Catskill,  N.  Y.  l.  a.  p. 
The  American  Standard  of  Perfection, 
which  is  the  official  guide  to  judges  of  all 
varieties  of  poultry,  recognizes  and  de¬ 
scribes  the  Silver  Leghorns,  but  no  men¬ 
tion  is  made  of  “Red  Leghorns.’’  Evi¬ 
dently  someone  has  seen  either  the  light 
A  Thousand  Young  White  Leghorns  in  One  Flock 
using  no  paint  at  all?  What  size  nails 
and  quantity  of  each  are  needed?  In 
building  10x24-ft.  brooder  intend  to  build 
same  in  two  sections  of  10x12  ft.  each, 
7  ft.  high  in  front  and  4  ft.  high  in  the 
rear.  Front  to  be  open,  with  center  of 
each  section  in  muslin  with  a  sash  on 
each  side  of  muslin  opening.  Should 
sashes  be  placed  midway  between  plates 
and  floors  or  below  center?  Would  two 
sashes  on  each  side  of  muslin  be  better? 
Brooder  to  have  double  wooden  floors 
with  layer  of  paper  in  between,  walls  to 
be  built  of  one  layer  of  tongue  and 
grooved  lumber.  d.  l. 
If  the  walls  of  your  poultry-house  and 
brooders  are  made  of  matched  stuff,  and 
are  airtight,  it  is  not  necessary  to  pse 
roofing  paper  in  connection  with  them. 
If  this  is  used,  however.  I  should  place  it 
upon  the  outside  and  fasten  it  with  the 
nails  and  caps  ordinarily  used  for  that 
purpose.  It  is  not  necessary  to  build 
double  floors,  either.  Matched  stuff, 
placed  vertically,  with  2x4  girds,  will  do 
away  with  the  necessity  of  using  vertical 
studding.  The  false  wall  over  and  behind 
the  droppings  boards  should  extend  from 
just  below  the  latter  to  a  short  distance 
in  front  of  the  birds  when  on  their 
perches.  I  should  not  use  muslin  cur¬ 
tains  in  either  poultry-house  or  brooders, 
but  should  place  large  double-sash  win¬ 
dows  in  front,  and  should  arrange  the 
sashes  to  drop  back  into  the  building  for 
a  few  inches  at  the  top  for  ventilation. 
In  warm  weather  these  should  be  removed 
entirely.  Four  large  double-sash  windows 
in  the  laying-house  and  two  in  each  of 
the  brooder-houses  should  give  you  ample 
light  and  ventilation.  It  is  best  to  have 
these  about  2  f'  from  the  floor.  It  does 
not  matter  how  near  the  plate  the  tops 
come.  Your  bill  of  materials  will  depend 
upon  the  style  of  construction,  acd  can 
best  be  figured  out  by  a  local  carpenter 
after  you  have  explained  just  how  you 
wish  the  buildings  put  up.  M.  b.d. 
or  dark  Brown  Leghorns  and  called  them 
red  instead  of  brown.  Silver  Leghorns 
were  formerly  called  Silver  Duck  wing 
Leghorns,  but  the  Duckwing  has  been 
dropped  and  they  are  now  called  just  Sil¬ 
ver.  The  Leghorns  originated  in  Italy 
and  the  Silvers  are  identical  with  the 
rest  of  the  Leghorn  family  as  to  shape 
and  size,  but  their  color  is  black  and  sil¬ 
very  white,  which  gives  them  their  name. 
The  under  color  is  gray.  They  are  purely 
a  fancier’s  fowl  and  are  seldom  seen  out¬ 
side  our  big  shows. 
There  are  some  very  good  laying  strains 
of  White  Wyandottes  which  produce  a 
fair  profit,  but  many  strains  of  this  va¬ 
riety  have  been  bred  for  fancy  until  their 
utility  qualities  are  somewhat  lacking, 
and  the  fact  that  they  lay  a  brown  egg 
which  sells  for  several  cents  a  dozen  less 
than  white  eggs  on  an  average,  which, 
with  the  added  cost  of  producing  Wyan¬ 
dotte  pullets  and  eggs,  makes  them  in¬ 
ferior  to  the  White  Leghorns  for  a  com¬ 
mercial  proposition.  c.  s.  G. 
Thin  Eggshells 
Do  you  know  of  any  remedy  for 
strengthening  eggshells?  I  have  White 
Leghorns,  and  many  of  the  eggs  are  so 
thin  that  the  slightest  pressure  breaks 
them.  When  I  ship  them  there  are  always 
a  lot  broken.  I  am  feeding  the  regular 
mash  with  charcoal,  grit  and  oyster  shells. 
Will  water  too  warm  affect  them?  H.  G. 
New  York. 
Anything  that  w’ill  aid  the  shell-making 
organs  to  function  properly  will  px-obably 
help  these  fowls.  Give  them  clover  or 
Alfalfa  hay  daily  to  pick  over  and  eat 
the  leaves  from,  and  turn  them  loose  upon 
the  ground  to  find  “tonics”  there  that 
they  need.  The  trouble  is  not  from  lack 
of  shell-making  material  in  their  food, 
but  from  functional  weakness  of  the 
shell-making  organs.  It  should  not  be 
permanent.  M.  B.  D.
