ABSTRACT:
The galliformes such as chickens are raised in a housing having a plurality of intercommunicable rooms, each of the rooms, except the first two, comprising progressively larger areas and each of said rooms including the first two being provided with independently controlled heating, ventilating, lighting, watering and feeding means, and means for progressively moving the birds sequentially through each such room at a rate such that the birds are at a predetermined maturity upon departure from the last of the rooms. In a preferred embodiment the floors of each room are heated and the floor of each room except the first two are corregated so that the bodies of the birds are generally not in contact with droppings and moisture in the droppings is rapidly evaporated.
