    About this ebook

    “Poultry Houses” is a 1903 work by Australian writer Paul N. Hasluck. Within it, he provides simple, step-by-step instructions for the designing and construction of a variety of different styles of poultry houses and runs, all illustrated with helpful diagrams. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 – 1916) was an Australian writer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: “Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning” (1881), “The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book” (1887), and “Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them” (1887). Contents include: “Houses, Runs, and Coops for Poultry”, “Runs for the Chicken Rearer”, “Portable Gable-roof Poultry House”, “Interior Fittings for Poultry House”, “Roof of Poultry House”, “Mounting Poultry House on Wheels”, “Run for Movable Poultry House”, “Fowl House with Semicircular Roof”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

      Poultry Houses - With Instructions and Illustrations on Constructing Houses, Runs and Coops for Poultry - The Handyman's Book of Woodworking - Paul N. Hasluck

      HOUSES, RUNS, AND COOPS FOR POULTRY.

      HEN COOP WITH CHICKEN RUN.

      THE coop shown by Fig. 1022 is intended for use in rearing early chickens. The front has a hinged flap which may rest on the top of the run as shown to shelter it partially during the daytime, or it may be lifted higher and secured with a hook and staple. At night the run may be removed, and the flap let down to keep the brood warm and ward off cats and rats. If the latter are troublesome, the holes over the flap may be covered with wire netting. The construction is more clearly shown in the longitudinal section (Fig. 1023), and in the view of the front of coop with the run removed (Fig. 1024). To make the coop, first prepare the boards to form the sides; put them together and nail to ledges of 1 1/2-in. by 3/4-in. stuff, as shown at the top and bottom of Fig. 1023. Sound 3/4-in. deal should be used throughout, and the joints of the boards should be tongued and grooved for the sheeting. Nail on the boards to form the back, putting a strip up the corners if necessary, and get out a rail A (Fig. 1023), 2 in. by 3/4 in., notching it for the front rails to fit in at the bottom, and secure it at the sides. Fit another rail across the top as shown, then put on the roof. Next fit up the front (Fig. 1024), mortising the middle rail A through the roof to allow of its being lifted to release the hen. Make the hinged flap for the front by cutting three or four boards to length and cross-battening them with a couple of ledges; then prepare a rail 2 ft. long by 1 1/2 in. by 3/4 in., and secure the flap to this with a pair of butt or tee hinges. This rail should be secured to the front of the coop with screws, so that it can be removed easily with the flap when not required. The run can be made by cutting two 9-in. or 10-in. boards 3 ft. or more long to form the sides, and a piece 1 ft. 10 1/2 in. by 9 in. wide for the front. Upright pieces may be nailed on to strengthen the corners B (Fig. 1023), and a cross rail C must be used at
