Poultry farm is the form of animal husbandry which raises chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese to produce meat or eggs for food.
Chicken coop
A chicken coop or hen house is a structure where chickens are kept safe and secure. There are two housing designs for chickens: fresh-air houses with wide openings and nothing more than wire mesh between chickens and the weather, or closed houses with doors, windows and ventilation.
Meat-producing chickens-husbandry system
Meat chickens, commonly called broilers, are floor-raised and climate-controlled housing. Under modern farming methods, they are raised in large steel structures, these houses are equipped with mechanical systems to deliver feed and water to the birds. They have ventilation systems and heaters that function as needed.
Keeping birds inside a house protects them from predators such as hawks and foxes. Some houses are equipped with curtain walls, which can be rolled up in good weather to admit natural light and fresh air.
Chicken feed consists primarily of corn and soybean meal with the addition of essential vitamins and minerals.
