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.
