A broiler is raised solely for meat in large scale operations. On a farm they can also have duel use as egg layers since they are only eaten as need arises so egg production is a side benefit.

Layers are raised for the production of eggs in large operations but they are culled when egg production drops but on the farm the layers while often used for meat when they get too old to lay are often allowed to live full long lives. Hard work deserves a good retirement, at least on our farm.

When we say 'poultry' we are usually talking about domestic fowl which are raised for food. It can mean either meat or eggs. Examples include: chicken, turkey, goose, duck etc.,

A broiler can be a type of poultry (usually chicken) as well as a particular way to cook poultry. To cook by broiling means the heat comes from above the food being cooked & the temperature tends to be quite a bit higher than in other ways of cooking & because of this you must use much greater care to avoid burning your meal! I can only speak for myself but I tent to use the broiler to brown poultry rather than to cook using ONLY the broiler as the outside of the food cooks rapidly but the inside does not cook evenly with the outside.
