chicken houses

Where hens roost

Chicken houses are structures built to shelter domestic chickens, typically for egg production or meat farming.

Commercial operations use long, climate-controlled buildings housing thousands of birds.

Smaller backyard versions are usually called chicken coops.

The smell from the chicken houses carried for miles.
