Hi Adrian,

What I wanted to know is like a "stud farm". Is there a "chicken farm" that only offers chicks, not fresh of chickens?

It's called a poultry farm.

Poultry means any kind of domesticated bird, chickens, ducks, geese or turkeys. It's a huge industry here in the USA with giant poultry farms and small family owned operations competing so prices stay low, about $6.00 for a nice sized chicken, plucked and in a plastic bag.

Joe, "stud farm" means a farm that offers markets with small horses for further breeding, not for being butchered for fresh. And what I wanted to know is like this -- the farm offer chicks that are for further breeding, not for being killed for meal.

Poultry farms do both. They offer fertilized eggs, poults (young birds), or brooding hens for sale, as well as fresh-killed or frozen chickens.


Try Goggling the words 'poultry farm' and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks Joe.

Anytime, that's what friends are for.
