Poultry Houses - With Instructions and Illustrations on Constructing Houses, Runs and Coops for Poultry - The Handyman's Book of Woodworking

“Poultry Houses” is a 1903 work by Australian writer Paul N. Hasluck. Within it, he provides simple, step-by-step instructions for the designing and construction of a variety of different styles of poultry houses and runs, all illustrated with helpful diagrams. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 – 1916) was an Australian writer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: “Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning” (1881), “The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book” (1887), and “Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them” (1887). Contents include: “Houses, Runs, and Coops for Poultry”, “Runs for the Chicken Rearer”, “Portable Gable-roof Poultry House”, “Interior Fittings for Poultry House”, “Roof of Poultry House”, “Mounting Poultry House on Wheels”, “Run for Movable Poultry House”, “Fowl House with Semicircular Roof”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
