by Prince T. Woods (Author), Robert Plamondon (Foreword by)
Fresh Air or Bust! To stay healthy, your chickens need plenty of ventilation-probably more than they're getting today.
This was discovered over 100 years ago, but has been largely forgotten. Today's small-flock housing tends to be dank, dark, and smelly. Chickens, like miners' canaries, are easily harmed by poor air quality. Wet litter breeds disease. Darkness forces chickens, like parrots, to be artificially inactive. "Dank, dark, and smelly" is a deadly combination!
Closed chicken houses are so harmful that knocking out a wall can cause an immediate improvement, even in winter. Chickens, after all, have a thick coat of feathers to keep them warm, but are vulnerable to poor air quality and pathogens in the litter; and their unwillingness to eat in the dark means they can starve in the midst of plenty.
Fresh-Air Poultry Houses was written by Dr. Prince T. Woods, a noted poultry health expert. Dr. Woods describes not only his own poultry houses, but those of many of his clients, giving the book a breadth of experience that makes it a unique resource.
This 1924 book is old-fashioned and a little eccentric, but in a good way.
Fresh-Air Poultry Houses is a good example of the Norton Creek Press motto: "Most of the best books are out of print and forgotten, but we can fix that!"

Gone Broody was built for customers who want more than a product page and a Buy Now button. We specialize in poultry products, from everyday flock supplies and incubation equipment to chicken coop kits, fully assembled coops, and large custom builds.
More importantly, we actually help you sort through the options. We’ll talk through your flock, your property, your goals, and your budget and help you find the product that makes the most sense for how you actually keep chickens.
Some purchases are simple. Others involve sizing, customization, site preparation, delivery, setup, or choosing between several very different products. That’s where knowledgeable customer service matters.
Ask questions. Send us a sketch. Tell us what you’re worried about. If a simpler option works better, we’ll tell you. If we think you’re about to outgrow something, we’ll tell you that too.
Because Gone Broody works with multiple builders, brands, hatcheries, and specialty suppliers, we aren’t limited to recommending one manufacturer’s solution. We can help you compare different styles, materials, sizes, features, and price points and find the best match for your flock.
No high-pressure sales pitch. No forcing every customer into the same product. Just practical, knowledgeable help finding what works for you.
