The term "poultry" refers to any domesticated birds used for their eggs, meat or feathers.

Types of poultry include the following:

  • chickens
  • turkeys
  • duck
  • geese
  • peafowl
  • guineafowl
  • pheasants
  • pigeons
  • quail

There are other types of birds which are raised for eggs or meat, but which are not defined as "poultry" under the guidelines of various countries' Departments of Primary Industries or equivalent departments. These include the larger Flightless Birds now farmed for eggs, meat and feathers, such as ostriches, emus and rheas.
