Chickens are the most common bird raised for both meat and eggs. Chickens that are raised for their chicken meat are called broilers 

Chickens that are raised for eggs are called laying hens or layers. Some breeds of poultry are raised on hobby farms are raised for shows and competitions. The type of poultry house system used by the proposed poultry farm is a function of the prevailing climatic conditions of the area where the farm is located
