SECTlON INDICATING ASSEMBLY OF UNITS-
Engineo, Agicubwal Depanment, Califarnia Redwad Assoaation. Copyight ry25,
NTERCHANGEABLE ur.rits, making it possible to assemble the hutches in many differcnt ways, are provided in the carefully prepared design illustrated above.
Thus the units may be placed in tiers, one above another, or they may be placed side by side and end to end in rows. If the' single tier is preferred the base unit may easily be increased in height to make single tier more readily accessible. Note that one unit (see lower center drawing) is so designed that it may act as drip pan when placed belorv the hutch, and as roof wherl placed above.
Certain modif ications (to meet individual requirements) may be made in the construction of the "Standard Unit" without sacrificing the advantage of standardizing all parts.
For example,-doors may be made srnaller to provide space (between doors) for slidir-rg removable hopper to feed both compartments. Likew.ise central clivision may be made sliding or removable if desired. Doors may be hinged at sides (instead of bottom) to swing out ratl-rer than down.
This type of hutch is designed to be placed within a suitable building under a roof and in rows and tiers, with suitable cleaning and feeding passage ways left clear.
Floor of the building should be of cement, since droppings from bottom tier are directly onto the floor, unless a drip pan unit is preferred under bottom unit as well as over.
Drip pan units may be provided witl-r stock pattern Redrvood gutters pitched to drain to end of rabbitry if desired.
