. Directions

The purpose of the wheel is to keep the fowl from the top of the box. It has the additional advantage over a fixed top in that it is removable for filling and ('leaning the box.

The box is rcmovabie and is held in place by the two end posts projecting down over the end cross braces on the outside. It is prevented from moving sidewise by the small pieces of furring which are nailed on the top edge of Ihe end cross braces between the landing board and box.

There are numerous ways of preventing the waste of feed. Heavy wires may be nailed across the top of the box spaced 3" or 4" on center or a piece of quarter round may be nailed to the inside of the side boards of the box at the top edge.

The screen has the advantage of being removable, thus making it easier to fill and clean.
