A poultry house 240 feet long sounds absurd until you see why it works. Hunter collects tested plans: double yards, the straw-loft house, and the curtain-front design that keeps birds warm without stale air. Practical drawings and hard-won suggestions for building coops and outbuildings that actually earn their timber. Build once, build right.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
