1.1 Meaning
A poultry farm is where domesticated birds are raised. Poultry include
chickens, turkey, ducks, and geese. These animals are raised for their meat and
eggs. Chickens are the most common bird raised for both meat and eggs.
Chickens that are raised for their eggs are called laying hens or layers.
1.2 Definition
“Poultry “ is a term used for any kind of domesticated bird, captive- raised for
its utility , and traditionally the word has been used to refer to wildfowl and
waterfowl but not to cage birds such as songbirds and parrots.
People might think chickens are the only option for farm fresh eggs, but that is
not the case. Most farmyard poultry lay eggs, all the species are prized for their
meat, and some have other special skills to offer the homestead.
1.3.1 Chickens
As the best known backyard farm bird, chickens are valued because they are
easy keepers and quite useful. They’ve been part of farmyards for about 5000
years, since first a wild bird known as red jungle fowl. These spangled birds
are still found on islands across the south pacific today.
1.3.2 Geese
The earliest domesticated poultry, geese can be friendly and useful additions to
the farmyard. They take marginally more work than a flock of hens, but they are
still easy keepers and can bring you a variety of rewards.
Geese can lay 20 to 40 eggs a year, and a goose egg is large enough to make a
full omelet on its own.
1.3.3 Ducks
Ducks have been farmed for thousands of years, and wild ducks were hunted
and their eggs scavenged even before that.
There are far more different types of ducks in domestication that you might
guess. There are upright, skinny varieties known as runners, the meaty faced,
unique muscovite; and also plumper, swimming breeds that descend form wild
mallards.
1.3.5 Quail
Another bird whose behavior usually hovers on the edge of domestication is
the quail. Quail are rather similar to pheasants another type of poultry one
might find on the modern homestead pheasants are often larger and they
usually have brighter plumage and louder calls.
1.3.6 Turkeys
Turkeys make striking additions to the barnyard, the males always happy to
show off their plumage and bright blue heads. First domesticated about 2000
years ago, turkeys originate from Mexico and Central America. Turkeys are
raised primarily for their meat but are becoming more popular as pets.
