. 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). BuiLDixG Poultry Houses. 203 weight for other animals. The ys pitch, gable roof alone has 562 cubic feet air space, or cubic feet air space to each pound live weight. The lower the roof of the house, the less square feet wall surface will be exposed on the sides and ends and hence the warmer the house will be, other conditions being equal. A house 100 feet long and 15 feet wide, having sides 5 feet high, would have 460 square feet less wall surface exposed than one similar in type having sides 7 feet high. The working unit in building a hen house is the floor space and air space required for each fowl. A safe working rule is about 4 to 5 square feet floor space, and 8 to 10 cubic feet air space for every fowl. The lighter breeds, because they are more active and restless, require nearly as much room as larger breeds. The shape of the house Square houses economize lumber. The nearer square a house is, other things being equal, the less number it will require CFig. 36).
