The radical difference between this and all other plans given, is that the roosts are placed near the south wall and parallel to it. As is well known, the south side of a room is, as a rule, the warmest side. The simple change in position of the roosts gives the fowls the warmest part of the house to sleep in. To make it possible to keep the fowls comfortably warm on the coldest nights, and to regulate the temperature near the roosts, the roosts are enclosed in a box, the entire front of which can be opened or cl
