A $800 chicken house would need about $64 yearly after expenses, equating to 32 cents per hen for 200 hens.

Tests near Washington show vaporproof roofing reduces water evaporation from earth and curbs condensation in damp sites.
Building experts say roofing protection kept damp joists and flooring dry within three months. No moisture condensation found on sills or sub-floor timbers. Basementless construction reduces foundation costs when rock near the surface raises excavation costs. Footings must extend below the frost line, making shallow footings more feasible in the South than in colder regions.
