Shed Converted Into Fresh-Air House These are the days of fresh air. Half the air is night air, why not use it. The above depicts how many an old lean-to shed can he converted into a modern fresh-air poultry house by cutting an opening in the front, and making a straw loft overhead. Should such a shed face the south or east the opening can be open most of the time, but if it faces north we would not recommend such a change as poultry needs sunshine as well as fresh air. dency of today is towards shortening the length of stationary houses. Few are built over 100 feet long, and many breeders are now using houses only 8 to 15 feet long. 6. Plans Have Been Changed. The construction of poultry houses has been completely revolutionized in recent years. Up to 1905 it was thought necessary to board and cover with building paper poultry houses inside and out — to make them as warm and close as possible. In the following year the fresh-air style of house was advocated, and this system is now conceded to be the best, [8].
