AGRICULTURAL NEWS - The purpose of poultry housing is to provide chickens with a healthy and comfortable environment that’s clean, dry and secure. The most affordable type is a naturally ventilated house scalable to any size.
This doesn’t make use of costly air-conditioning to control the climate inside and does not need to be fitted with a lot of special insulation material.
The most common type of naturally ventilated poultry house is built with the two shortest sides constructed from bricks and the two longer walls from corrugated iron.
These are easily converted to day-range houses which allow chickens to be let out during the day to graze in camps.
