HAPPY HOMES
FOR HENS
in WINTER
Give Fowls Air, but Keep
Them Out of Drafts; Dry
ness and Room Required

Essentials of hen happiness during
houses, plenty of varied food, access
to cozy, comfortable run during
pleasant weather, and assurance OF
proper and experienced attention on
the part of the poultrymen.
To obtain good results from flock
of poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be in good
condition, only healthy fowls should
be kept in the flock ana they should
be given the maximum of care and
attention. Houses should be thor
| oughly clean, disinfected, and made
draft proof, preparatory to the recep-
ton of the flock. If they have earth
floors, it is advisable to remove the
top three or four inches of earth and
replace this with fresh clean earth.
dirt and litter should be removed and
from four to five inches of fresh
straw litter should be provided.
1t is highly essential that the hen
dwellings be air-tight on three sides
so that there is no opportunity for a
draft to strike the hens, as where
hens roosts are placed in draft
during the fall and winter, colds are
almost certain to develop and may
result in Group and other troubles.
From one-third to one-half of the
south side, or front, of a poultry
house may be made of curtains and
windows, but should be so construct
ed that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have muslin curtains in the
front of the house or leave window
partly open even on the coolest night
to provide for ventilation. Fowls are
able to withstand considerable cold
air if it is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house.
The prime essentials in poultry
house are fresh air, dryness, sun
light, convenience, and space enough
to keep the birds comfortable. The
house should be located where there
is good water and air drainage. Ii
should face the south or southeast.
From to A square feet of floor
space should be allowed for each hen'
Provide one nest for every four or
FIVE hens.
A Cheap, Satisfactory House
A simple poultry house 10 feet by
Ii feet, which will accommodate
about so hens, can be constructed
with approximately $28 worth of
materials. This house has one-half
of the front open, but a two section
curtain of burlap or thin muslin,
which can be closed, should be
used on the inside to close the open
ing on cold nights. In case the
ground is damp it will be essential to
add board floor; otherwise an earth
floor elevated few inches above the
ground level will be satisfactory. If
desired, cement floor of cheap and
simple construction may be laid, such
a floor being a good protection
against rats. In the warmer sections
6-inch shutter may be used on the
back of the house, just under the
caves, which may be so constructed
that it can be closed to prevent any
draft on the hens during cold wealth
er. The nests may be placed directly
under the dropping boards or on the
walls Of the house, but not on the
floor.
