. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 6. Providing room for the attendant to work inside the house The house described (Fig. 87) furnishes suf- ficient head room so that the work can be done inside by the attendant during stormy or severely cold weather. This is a great advantage when compared with the type of outdoor brooder in which the cover must be raised in order to feed and water the chicks or to clean the brooder,—a system which has the ad- ditional disadvantages of allowing a large volume of heat to escape when the cover is lifted and of permitting the chickens to fly out. A house of the size and style shown is convenient for doing the work. The entire floor space is available, accessible, and easily cleaned. The hover is against the rear wall, easily raised and fastened, or removed. It is high enough at the entrance in the center of the house to enable the attendant to stand erect when walking from front to rear and caring for the brooder, and he can reach to either side without inconvenience in attending to the chickens on the floor.
