Houses, Runs, and Coops for Poultry
Paul Nooncree Hasluck
Paul Nooncree Hasluck was born in April 1854, in South Australia. The third son of Lewis Hasluck, of Perth, the family moved to the UK when Hasluck was still young. He subsequently lived in Herne Bay (Kent), before moving to 120 Victoria Street, London, later in life.
Hasluck was the secretary of the Institution of Sanitary Engineers - an organisation dedicated to promoting knowledge of, and development in the field of urban sanitation. Hasluck was also the editor of several magazines and volumes over his lifetime, including Work Handbooks, and Building World. He was an eminently knowledgeable and talented engineer, and wrote many practical books. These included such titles as; Lathe-Work: A Practical Treatise on the Tools employed in the Art of Turning (1881), The Watch-Jobber s Handy Book (1887), Screw-Threads, and Methods of Producing Them (1887), and an eight volume series on The Automobile as well as a staggering eighteen volumes of Mechanics Manuals.
In his personal life, Hasluck married in 1883, to Florence - and the two enjoyed a happy marriage, though his wife unfortunately died young, in 1916. Hasluck himself died on 7th May, 1931, aged seventy-seven.
HOUSES, RUNS, AND COOPS FOR POULTRY.
H EN C OOP WITH C HICKEN R UN .
T HE coop shown by Fig. 1022 is intended for use in rearing early chickens. The front has a hinged flap which may rest on the top of the run as shown to shelter it partially during the daytime, or it may be lifted higher and secured with a hook and staple. At night the run may be removed, and the flap let down to keep the brood warm and ward off cats and rats. If the latter are troublesome, the holes over the flap may be covered with wire netting. The construction is more clearly shown in the longitudinal section ( Fig. 1023 ), and in the view of the front of coop with the run removed ( Fig. 1024 ). To make the coop, first prepare the boards to form the sides; put them together and nail to ledges of 1 1/2-in. by 3/4-in. stuff, as shown at the top and bottom of Fig. 1023 . Sound 3/4-in. deal should be used throughout, and the joints of the boards should be tongued and grooved for the sheeting. Nail on the boards to form the back, putting a strip up the corners if necessary, and get out a rail A ( Fig. 1023 ), 2 in. by 3/4 in., notching it for the front rails to fit in at the bottom, and secure it at the sides. Fit another rail across the top as shown, then put on the roof. Next fit up the front ( Fig. 1024 ), mortising the middle rail A through the roof to allow of its being lifted to release the hen. Make the hinged flap for the front by cutting three or four boards to length and cross-battening them with a couple of ledges; then prepare a rail 2 ft. long by 1 1/2 in. by 3/4 in., and secure the flap to this with a pair of butt or tee hinges. This rail should be secured to the front of the coop with screws, so that it can be removed easily with the flap when not required. The run can be made by cutting two 9-in. or 10-in. boards 3 ft. or more long to form the sides, and a piece 1 ft. 10 1/2 in. by 9 in. wide for the front. Upright pieces may be nailed on to strengthen the corners B ( Fig. 1023 ), and a cross rail C must be used at the side against the front of the coop to carry the wire netting. A hinged flap at the front end of the run will be found useful when supplying soft food and water for the chickens, and the top of the run may be covered with 3/4-in.
