poultry house

Where chickens roost

A poultry house is a building or enclosed structure where chickens, turkeys, ducks, or other domesticated fowl are raised.

Commercial poultry houses are typically large, climate-controlled facilities designed to maximize egg production or meat yield, while smaller operations might use simpler coops or henhouses.

The farmer installed new ventilation systems in the poultry house to reduce heat stress during summer.
