Home›Poultry›All PoultryBrowse ByAll PoultryReference and ClassificationDevelopingDomesticated birds raised for meat, eggs or fibre: chickens and their named breeds, ducks and their named breeds, geese, turkeys, the domestic pigeon, helmeted guinea fowl and Japanese quail. This grouping matches FAO own Poultry species class directly, which already spans exactly this set of domestic fowl rather than splitting each bird family into its own heading. Belongs here: any domesticated bird species or named breed farmed for meat, eggs or down. Does not belong here: the western honey bee or the silkworms, farmed insects rather than birds, held under Minor and Specialty Livestock Species.FactsAll PoultrySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Husbandry ProductWell-attestedMulti-Purpose 1All PoultryFilter Results57 entriesPrimary UsesAllEggs, meat (1)exhibition, companionship, egg incubation, food (1)Meat, eggs, down feathers, companionship, property guarding (1)Raised for meat, exhibition, or as a general purpose duck (1)Era (Domesticated When)Allbefore the 13th century (1)circa 1500 BC by recent estimates, earlier dates debated (1)circa 2000 BC (1)circa 2000 BC, debated (1)circa 800 BC to 100 AD, debated (1)Part OfAllChicken (8)Duck (10)Turkey (1)Breed Risk StatusAllCritical (2)Endangered (6)Not at Risk (6)Domestication RegionAllAfrica (1)Australia (1)Belgium (1)China (4)East Asia (2)France (3)Germany (1)Indonesia (2)Mesoamerica (1)Netherlands (2)New England (1)Southeast Asia (1)Spain (2)United Kingdom (8)United States (11)BrowseCompareSelect all 57African GoosePoultryAmeraucanaPoultryAncona ChickenPoultryAndalusian ChickenPoultryAustralorpPoultryAylesbury DuckPoultryBourbon Red TurkeyPoultryBrahma ChickenPoultryBroad Breasted White TurkeyPoultryBuckeye ChickenPoultryCall DuckPoultryCampine ChickenPoultryCayuga DuckPoultryChickenPoultryCochin ChickenPoultryCornish ChickenPoultryDelaware ChickenPoultryDomestic PigeonPoultryDominique ChickenPoultryDorking ChickenPoultryDuckPoultryEmbden GoosePoultryFaverolles ChickenPoultryGoosePoultryHamburg ChickenPoultryHelmeted Guinea FowlPoultryHoming PigeonPoultryHoudan ChickenPoultryIndian Runner DuckPoultryJapanese QuailPoultryJava ChickenPoultryJersey Giant ChickenPoultryKhaki Campbell DuckPoultryLeghorn ChickenPoultryMarans ChickenPoultryMinorca ChickenPoultryMuscovy DuckPoultryNaked Neck ChickenPoultryNarragansett TurkeyPoultryNew Hampshire RedPoultryOld English GamePoultryOrpington ChickenPoultryPekin DuckPoultryPlymouth Rock ChickenPoultryPolish ChickenPoultryRhode Island RedPoultryRouen DuckPoultrySebright ChickenPoultrySilkiePoultrySilver Appleyard DuckPoultryStandard Bronze TurkeyPoultrySumatra ChickenPoultrySussex ChickenPoultryToulouse GoosePoultryTurkeyPoultryWelsh Harlequin DuckPoultryWyandotte ChickenPoultrySources1.
