farmyards
Where chickens roam
Farmyards are the enclosed areas adjacent to farm buildings where daily agricultural work takes place.
Livestock may be kept or fed there, equipment stored, and vehicles loaded.
The word evokes rural life and its characteristic mix of animals, machinery, and activity: chickens scratching in the farmyard, the smell of the farmyard.
