poultere

Poultere is not a standard or widely recognized term in contemporary French or English. In French, the common word for a place where poultry is kept is poulailler, with poulaillerie used for the broader poultry yard or farm. The spelling poultere is not standard and may appear in dialect writings, historical texts, or as an erroneous variant. In English, the closest established term is poulterer (or poulterer), which denotes a person who buys and sells poultry rather than a facility. The term may also appear as a surname or a geographic name in some regions.

If encountered, poultere is typically considered rare or regional rather than a canonical culinary, agricultural, or economic term. It is sometimes treated as a misspelling or historical artifact rather than a current technical designation. Because poulailler and poulaillerie are the established French equivalents, they are preferred in modern usage when referring to poultry housing or operations in French.

In practice, poultry keeping encompasses the housing, feeding, and management of birds such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. A poultry facility can range from a small backyard coop to a large commercial farm. Key considerations include animal welfare, biosecurity, sanitation, temperature and ventilation control, nutrition, and humane handling throughout production and processing.
