birds use four trestles. each two feet

Place the dropping boards on the

This arrangement leaves open foor

are easily scraped of into a box.
Twenty TO thirty hens may easily be
accommodated on roost OF this size.
and on zero nights the Stats may be
moved closer together for warmth. In
the summer the roost may be moved
near the open windows so that fowls
may sleep more comfortably.
In the season when the flock is re-
duced these roosts may quickly be
changed into shelters from rain and
