chicken farmers
Egg production agriculturalists
Chicken farmers raise chickens commercially, typically for meat (broilers) or eggs (layers), though some raise heritage breeds for both.
The term encompasses operations ranging from small family farms to large industrial producers who contract with major poultry companies.
The chicken farmers in our county supply most of the region's eggs.
Like other agricultural workers, chicken farmers contend with fluctuating feed costs, disease management, and market pressures.
