Selecting a Poultry House for Health and Productivity
A poultry house should sit on natural drainage with dry porous soil and face south to gain winter sun. Allocate at least two square feet per bird and ensure proper ventilation. The partial open-front and colony housing reduce tainted soil risks. Roosts at 2 feet 6 inches high with dropping boards and darkened nests support hens' laying preferences.
Selection of Breed for Purebred Fowl Profit
The head of the flock should be purebred. Mediterranean or egg breeds include Leghorns Minorcas Spanish Blue Andalusians and Anconas. American breeds include Plymouth Rocks Wyandottes Javas Dominiques Rhode Island Reds and Buckeyes. Asiatic meat breeds are Brahmas Cochins Langshans. English breeds are Dorkings Orpingtons and Redcaps. American breeds yield higher profits with proper marketing.
