Fig. 27. Chicken Brooder Coop and Run.
1. Reduce all pieces to finished dimensions and label each piece. Labels should be written neatly with letters about the size used in writing on paper. Careless writing does not look well on woodwork.
2. Fasten bottom cleats to bottom by driving two 6d common nails in each board at each end. The nails are longer than the thickness of the boards and should be driven at a slant so as not to go thru.
3. Fasten cleats to roof boards same as bottom and drive two nails into each board at the ridge.
4. For laying out the slant on upper end of pieces for back and front the T bevel should be used and may be set at the same angle as the drawing.
5. Fasten cleat to back pieces the same as bottom and roof; set back pieces in place and nail thru edge of back roof board.
6. Nail the two lower front pieces firmly in place by nailing thru edge of front roof board and one nail in end of roof board cleat.
7. Place cleats for door as shown in "Top view of door" and fasten with 6d nails.
8. Fasten cleats to door by using two 4d common nails at each joint. Take a few shavings from the side of the side pieces so the door may slide freely.
9. Cut the ends of the corner posts of the run as shown in the detail drawing and join the corners with three 6d common nails placed as shown in detail of corner. Assemble the sides and ends first.
10. In fastening the wire begin at one corner and run the wire around the run. cutting the opening for the door as wide as the door and eight inches high. Do not cut the bottom strand of wire. Staples should be placed not more than 6 inches apart.
11. Run the wire lengthwise at the top and fasten with staples at the end and sides.
12. Bore a 3/8 inch hole thru the upper door cleat at the center. A peg placed in this hole may rest on the upper end piece of the run and hold the door open. A similar hole thru a slat of the door and into the front edge of the front roof board furnishes a place for the peg to hold the door open when the run is not in use. A brooder coop should be built so that the roof may be removed and the platform thoroughly cleaned.
