egg farmer
Raises laying hens
An egg farmer raises poultry—typically chickens—primarily for egg production rather than meat.
The term distinguishes this specialization from farmers who raise birds for slaughter or keep mixed operations.
The egg farmer collected hundreds of eggs each morning from the henhouse.
