Poultry houses (chicken houses, hen houses) provided shelter for poultry (overwhelmingly chickens, but sometimes turkeys or ducks) intended for egg laying (the vast majority in our period) or meat production.
Determine the Size and Design: Decide on the size of the poultry house based on the number of birds you plan to keep. Consider factors such as future expansion, ventilation, and ease of access for cleaning and maintenance. Common designs include rectangular or square-shaped houses with a gabled roof.
