Huts are very useful for followers. The breeding and upgrade rate is dependent on the number of followers you have in it, the more followers you have the faster it gets, all in all a hut may upgrade twice and hold up to five followers. Firewarriors placed in huts may fire out of it when enemies approach and your shaman may cast spells while in the hut too.
When hovering over huts to see how many followers are in it, there's two bars on the left (green and red). The green bar indicates how much progress there is for creating another brave. The red bar indicates the progress on upgrading the hut to the next stage.

Manual Upgrade
Manually upgrading is a fast way to upgrade your small huts to the next stage. You can manually upgrade a hut by commanding a brave to pick up wood and place it on the hut entrance. The red bar should increase a notch.
