29 CFR 780.125 - Raising of poultry in general.

  • Section Number: 780.125
  • Section Name: Raising of poultry in general.

    (a) The term ``poultry'' includes domesticated fowl and game birds. 
Ducks and pigeons are included. Canaries and parakeets are not included.
    (b) The ``raising'' of poultry includes the breeding, hatching, 
propagating, feeding, and general care of poultry. Slaughtering, which 
is the antithesis of ``raising,'' is not included. To constitute 
``agriculture,'' slaughtering must come within the secondary meaning of 
the term ``agriculture.'' The temporary feeding and care of chickens and 
other poultry for a few days pending sale, shipment or slaughter is not 
the ``raising'' of poultry. However, feeding, fattening and caring for 
poultry over a substantial period may constitute the ``raising'' of 
poultry.
