DON'T BUILD POULTRY HOUSE
TOO WIDE OR TOO HIGH

A poultry house should not he so
wide that the sun cannot reach the
back of the house, says Mrs. Kate NJ.
Wells, poultry specialist, Division of
Extension, University of Tennessee,
or 1t will be damp. Eighteen feet Is
a convenient width for large house
If there are no alleyways.
The house should be built as low as
possible without danger of attendants
humping their heads against the cell
ing. A low house Is more easily
warmed than high one. Dimensions
recommended by Mrs. Wells are . feet
high at back and to feet high in
front.
The size of the building required
will depend largely on the number Of
fowls to be kept and on the size OF
the ROcks. From % to 100 seems tc
be about as many as Is safe and eco
nomical TO keep together. With fiocks
of this size about 4 square feet of floor
space should he allotted to each bird,
which will suffice in most cases where
careful attention is given to cleanli-
ness and ventilation. Three to 3k
square feet Is enough for Leghorns In
large fiocks. If the fowls are kept In
smaller flocks little more floor space
per bird will be needed. Where the
climate ls SO mild that 1t Is unnecessary
TO keep the fowls confined, except for
n few DAYS at n time. and especially
II the fowls are kept In small colony
houses. less space per bird will be suf-
Rcient. The smaller breeds, being
more active and restless require about
as much room as the larger breeds.
