Introduction:

Poultry houses correctly planned and built are vitally important to the success of every poultry enterprise, whether it is to be established on a large or a small scale. While such houses must of necessity be comparatively plain and simple in design, they also must meet certain definite conditions to be genuinely practical. Regardless of size, every such building, for whatever purpose intended, must provide not only for the comfort and well-being of the fowls, but also for the convenience of the caretaker. And it must do this always at moderate cost. 

To be able to design a house that will meet these truly important requirements, calls for much practical experience, for a wide knowledge of what others have tried and found satisfactory- or unsatisfactory- along the same lines, and finally, for some knowledge of the general principles of architecture. It is small wonder if beginners and even experienced poultry keepers, make innumerable mistakes in their building operations- mistakes that must be corrected at heavy expense or remain as permanent handicaps to their future success. 

Under such conditions there is an unquestioned need for a book that shall present, in a fairly comprehensive manner, the best that is available in practical up-to-date plans conservatively designed to meet the requirements of poultry keepers wherever located. It was to supply this need that this book was published. 

It contains complete and thoroughly tested plans for each type of house that is likely to be required for the use of fowls, fixtures and general equipment have received special attention.

Book Review:

Poultry is, worldwide, one of the primary sources of protein and fats / oils for the world population.

Yet despite its vast and truly critical role in our food supply and in our economies, with the exception of large
poultry operators / ranchers and processors, very little seems to get written, and for the large scale operations,
what is written is hardly of rational relevance to small farms or poultry operators.

So, for all the rest of us, who might like to raise and benefit from poultry, there is a significant need to get good, sound,
and rational advice and methods in hand. Cost effective ones.

This book fulfills that need with good sound advice on how to build poultry houses to make efficient and healthy and cost
effective small operations work well.

Useful in context even for the big operations by giving good advice on the basics of poultry house construction and considerations,
the real focus is on the family farm or small operator.


Here you can learn how to make simple houses, tools, carrying bins, and all the things you need to make things work well for your poultry.

Down to earth simple and practical designs with enough detail you can build them easily enough ... from brood houses to larger scale laying huts,
not exact plans but sufficient details and pictures to get them build very easily.

Even sufficient detail that there are bill of materials to tell you how much of what size lumber to buy to build the structures.

More than enough to do the job well and easily.
