Fresh-Air Poultry Houses: The Classic Guide to Open-Front Chicken Coops for Healthier Poultry: 2 (Norton Creek Classics)

Interesting book, a re-brand of an older book from the 1920s. Is humorous to read but maybe a little dated if you are looking for something more about modern building materials. Buddy was pretty worried about city folks in their auto trucks stealing his chickens...

I decided to buy this book because I was looking for a different way to build a chicken house on my farm.It was well spent money.You should see my chickens:they are happy in their new dwelling and are very healthy in a fresh-air poultry house.

Great book. Half way through my Woods style chicken house.

Old information. newer methods available.
