Poultry houses and fixtures are among the first considerations of a person about to begin breeding poultry. If the buildings are commenced in a haphazard kind of a way disappointments and loss of time are bound to ensue. It will, therefore, be the endeavor in this book to assist the breeder in avoiding the difficulties which arise with a first attempt at poultry house building, in addition to which we will place before the already experienced poultryman plans which his fellow-breeders adopt. We present illustrations and descriptions of houses for the city and village fancier and for the professional breeder who intends establishing a large plant. The farmer, also, will find plans suited to his requirements.

There are important considerations which may not be mentioned in the detailed building instructions that follow, but which must not be overlooked, so it will be well to draw the attention of the reader to these at once.
