Hen House Pointers From a Poultry Keeper
A writer's rough pencil sketch illustrates a hallway section of a poultry house with nest boxes, a shelf, and feed troughs near a slat partition. Troughs are removed after meals for cleaning and a water pan sits on the floor by the slats. Eggs are gathered from the hallway, with cleaning limited to droppings boards and litter renewal.
