A Philadelphia Farm Journal correspondent urges cleaner poultry houses, noting droppings mess and time waste. The writer describes a reform with a smooth droppings board, an under edge trough, and a soap box beneath, as part of a method to keep chicken roosts clean and manageable.
An old kitchen notes a contraption where hens perch beside a wall and a sleeve from a box full of sawdust dries the platform during cleaning. It describes a false bottom and a rotating routine to sweep quickly and maintain feed, linking to farm housekeeping in a period style.
