Matching, as the nest can be examined
without moving the hen.
The Enclosure is of chicken wire and
has a board an inch in thickness at
the bottom to strengthen it. Put in
fresh water and food each day. After
the chickens are Matched they may, If
it be preferred, be left there to grow
up. This coop is easy to close, as it
has a trapdoor in place Of the usual
side door. In bigger coop of this sort
the nest may be taken out as the
chickens grow and roosts put in. This
makes a sanitary, portable coop that
can be kept free from mites.-Farm
