Title: "Making Mobile Hen Houses" by Michael Roberts
Post by: Marches Farmer on July 20, 2016, 02:31:16 pm

Still sorting through my bookcase.  This one in the Gold Cockerel Series has lots of ideas and some clear (if very small) diagrams.  Includes a Sound Moderated house and a Wheelchair User's poultry house. First one to PM me gets the book (free of charge).

Are you packing up with chickens MarchersFarmer? Sound problems are through the ventilation, so nothing can solve that, whatever the book says. They could be suffocated of course!

No, just trying to make more room on the bookshelf.  Haven't made all the houses and still working on my definitive poultry house design - another twenty years of poultry keeping and I might just get it right!

Book has now been assigned, by the way.  Bit of a delay on responding to those who PM'd me - apologies but we do now have a barn full of very good hay .....
