Fowl refers to birds that are often domesticated for their meat, eggs, or feathers. Common examples include chickens, ducks, and turkeys. These birds are typically raised on farms and are an important source of food in many cultures around the world. In addition to domesticated species, the term "fowl" can also refer to wild birds, particularly those that are hunted for sport or food. This includes waterfowl like geese and swans. Fowl play a significant role in agriculture and ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and food security.
