Poultry is the class of domesticated birds used for food (meat) or eggs.

Birds like chicken, ducks, turkey and geese are usually reared in poultry farms.

Birds in poultry farms are categorised into broilers and layers.

Broilers are birds that are reared for meat. These birds grow quickly and hence require a good amount of protein to sustain this fast growth.

Layers are birds that are reared to produce unfertilised eggs. These eggs are not fertilised by the rooster (adult male birds). These eggs are sold in the market for human consumption. Clutch is a term used in poultry to a group of eggs.
