Concept
Poultry Farm
Also known as: egg farm, chicken farm, duck farm, pastured-poultry operation
A farm whose primary production is birds — chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quail, guinea fowl — for eggs, meat, or both. Poultry sits between vegetable farming and livestock in time horizon: birds mature fast (8 weeks to a broiler, 5 months to a laying hen), the operation can be small and modular, and the regulatory floor for direct-to-eater sales is friendlier than for red meat in most states. Pastured-poultry is among the densest farm-economic models for small acreage.
A poultry farm raises birds. [[directory|The directory]]‘s poultry entries are dominated by small-flock egg operations and pastured-broiler farms — the kind of operation a single family can run on five acres without industrial infrastructure.
What the directory tracks here
Laying hens (eggs), broiler chickens (meat), heritage chicken breeds, ducks (eggs and meat), geese, turkeys ([[heritage-breeds|heritage breeds]] especially weighted), quail, guinea fowl, Cornish-cross broilers, slow-grow broilers, capons.
Pastured, free-range, mobile-coop, and integrated rotational-grazing operations are weighted. Caged-layer and confined-broiler operations do not appear in [[directory|the directory]].
