Definition: Domestic fowl (e.g. chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese) raised for food (either meat or eggs).
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek, At the word "poultry," a simple treat! The dictionary's right, it’s quite clear, It means “domestic fowl,” banish all fear! Think of chickens clucking, a happy sound, And ducks paddling calmly, all around. Then turkeys gobbling, big and grand, And geese that waddle across the land. They're raised for our tables, a tasty delight, For both their meat and eggs, shining bright! So "poultry" means animals, feathered and free, That we raise for food – can you agree? Does that make sense to you, my dear students true? Any questions popping up for me or you?
