Poultry farmers are individuals or businesses that raise birds such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys for meat and eggs. They manage the care, feeding, and housing of these birds to ensure their health and productivity. Poultry farming can be done on small family farms or large commercial operations, depending on the scale of production. These farmers play a crucial role in the food supply chain, providing a significant source of protein for consumers. They often use specific breeds of birds, such as broilers for meat and layers for eggs, to optimize their production and meet market demands.
