poultrymen

Raisers of fowl

Poultrymen is the plural of poultryman—someone who raises chickens, turkeys, ducks, or other domestic fowl, or who deals in poultry products.

The term appears in agricultural contexts: Local poultrymen supplied eggs to the regional market.

Like many occupational terms ending in -men, it has largely given way to gender-neutral alternatives such as poultry farmers or poultry producers.
