Birds are so constituted BY nature
that they require an abundance Of
fresh air for health and vigor. They
never do well with limited supply
OF air. For this reason all coops and
boxes in which poultry Of any kind
Is kept In the summer should be as
open as possible.
Let the roof be tight to protect
from rain. but at least one side
be open for the admission OF fresh air
at all times. The open side may be
protected by wire cloth or other ma.
terial that will let in air. but keep
out rats. etc.
