Wire Floors for Brooder Houses by C. S. Platt, New Jersey Agriculture, Febr., 1929.

Illustrated description of a 10- by 12-foot suburban Unit Poultry House with half inch mesh floor. Two hundred and fifty chicks were placed in the house and the cockerels removed at four weeks. The pullets were kept confined to the house until 10 weeks old. The mortality was 5 per cent during the period. The chicks grew normally and appeared in good health at all times. No green food was fed.
