poultry houses
Barns for fowl
Poultry houses are buildings designed to shelter domestic fowl—chickens, turkeys, ducks, or geese—raised for eggs or meat.
Commercial operations use large, climate-controlled structures housing thousands of birds: The company built new poultry houses capable of holding fifty thousand broilers.
Smaller poultry houses on farms may be called chicken coops or henhouses.
