Whether your poultry house is
large or small, expensive or modest,
it is going to house your poultry
flock, and your attention to a few
details concerning insulation and
ventilation, especially ventilation,
will pay you dividends.
Practically all poultry houses fall
in one or the other of the two CLASH
fications known as warm houses and
cold houses. The warm house is one
in which the temperature is usually
above freezing and seldom below
freezing. The cold house is one in
which the temperature is often, or
much of the time, below freezing.
Although the warm house might be
considered the better, the cold house
is also good. Both of them if they
are properly ventilated do a good
job of housing poultry.
Types of Insulation
The warm house is made warm by
the use of insulated walls and cell
ings plus storm windows Any kind
of insulation may be used from shaw
ings to commercial installations. If
shavings or any type of flip insula-
ton is used there should be vapor
| barrier on the inside of the wall.
| Vapor barrier paper can be pur-
chased at building materials dealers.
1t is not ordinary building paper.
Place the vapor barrier between the
insulation and the inside sheathing,
wall board or whatever you use.
Commercial blanket or bat type in
situations have vapor barrier paper
on the side that you place toward
the inside of the house.
If you don't use a vapor barrier,
the water vapor from the inside of
the house will move out through the
walls. When it strikes cold surface
it will condense, causing the insula-
ton to become wet and worthless.
Water vapor will go through wood,
plaster, wallboard or any of the Gus
tomary interior wall materials even
though they are alright.
AS mentioned, either the warm
house or the cold house is good pro-
lection for poultry. There is how
ever, an important difference in the
methods used to ventilate them.
Either type must have both air in
lets and air outlets. The difference
is mainly in the location of the out
lets.
Ventilation
In the warm house the outlet flue
is placed so it takes air from near
the floor In the cold house, the out
let takes air from near the ceiling
The inlets are placed near the flool
in either system.
Inlets. It is important that inlet
deliver air near the wall and tina
they direct it straight upward. All
that is directed straight upward fall
30 the floor without causing draft
or disturbing the birds.
Inlets so square inches in are
are most satisfactory. These can b
z by 80 inches, by 20 inches, A b
Is inches, 5 by IL inches or 6 by /
