A poultry house features a sloped roof covered with waterproof paper to prevent leaks. The southern front has two windows with dusting boxes beneath, offering sunshine for the birds. Roosts are arranged at one end and in the middle, with nest boxes along the side opposite the windows.
The guide notes arranging houseplants by class on a window shelf. Group ferns at the center with sword ferns and broad-leaved varieties, and hang maidenhair and delicate species from the edge.
