domesticated birds for food
Birds like chickens, ducks, and turkeys that people keep for eggs or meat.
Vzorec užití:
raise [poultry] on [a farm]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes make "poultry" plural ("poultries") or use it as a countable noun ("three poultries"). In modern English, "poultry" is almost always an uncountable noun. To talk about number, say "three chickens" or "three poultry farms", not "three poultries".
