Anotations

Scope note:

Structures constructed for or used to shelter poultry, which are usually domestic chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc., but excluding game birds. An example of a humane poultry house could have either a large open space provided with food, water, and roosting areas, often with an accessible opening to the outdoors; in large commercial facilities, there may be a series of small pens where two or more animals are confined and raised for meat or to produce eggs.
