The Poultry Building at the Bar U Ranch complex consists of a main section with additions at its west and east sides. The central, earlier one-storey section is of light-frame construction and rests on a concrete foundation. Its exterior walls are sheathed with shiplap, while its gable roof is clad with cedar shingles and is topped with two small ventilation cupolas. Four twelve-light storm windows, installed horizontally, are found on the south façade. The interior is divided equally into two rooms. The chicken stalls are located on the north wall. The west addition, built to shelter sheep is of pole construction, sheathed on the west and north façade with vertical boards and battens, and on the south façade with widely spaced horizontal boards. The third section, built in the late 1950's is a simple lean-to, built with large poles, on the east end of the structure.
