Description

This circular is a revised edition of Extension Circular 295, "The South Dakota Poultry House." The South Dakota poultry house faces south, has a combination roof, extremely low side walls, a straw loft, and a roosting alcove with extra insulation along the north side. The original South Dakota house was a frame construction and 16 feet wide or deep from front to back. The plan is still shown in this circular with slight changes, the most important of which are a slight increase in the height of the side walls, a stronger tie between the front and rear rafters, and with a change in the outside slats of the straw loft. Placing the slats underneath the loft joists permits a thicker layer of straw at the edges. A South Dakota poultry house plan 20 feet wide and with pise' or rammed earth walls is also shown. A 20-foot frame house can be built from the above two plans.
