Fresh Air or Bust To stay healthy, your chickens need plenty of
ventilation probably more than they re getting today. This was
discovered over 100 years ago, but has been largely forgotten.
Today s small-flock housing tends to be dank, dark, and smelly.
Chickens, like miners canaries, are easily harmed by poor air
quality. Wet litter breeds disease. Darkness forces chickens, like
parrots, to be artificially inactive. Dank, dark, and smelly is a
deadly combination Closed chicken houses are so harmful that
knocking out a wall can cause an immediate improvement, even in
winter. Chickens, after all, have a thick coat of feathers to keep
them warm, but are vulnerable to poor air quality and pathogens in
the litter; and their unwillingness to eat in the dark means they
can starve in the midst of plenty. Fresh-Air Poultry Houses was
written by Dr. Prince T. Woods, a noted poultry health expert. Dr.
Woods describes not only his own poultry houses, but those of many
of his clients, giving the book a breadth of experience that makes
it a unique resource. This 1924 book is old-fashioned and a little
eccentric, but in a good way. Fresh-Air Poultry Houses is a good
example of the Norton Creek Press motto: Most of the best books are
out of print and forgotten, but we can fix that See our Web site at
