This document discusses housing for poultry. It describes four main types of poultry houses: range type, semi-confinement type, complete confinement type, and semi-monitor type. It also classifies poultry houses based on the number of rooms/pens, portability, and roof style. Open-type laying houses are said to allow greater numbers of layers to thrive and produce more eggs than closed-type houses. The document provides considerations for the construction of poultry houses like the comfort of birds and caretakers, dryness, ventilation, and economy. It defines key terms and lists factors to consider like materials, investment, and operation size.
