Morphology
The meaning 'a farm where chickens are raised' is directly and transparently built from 'chicken' (the animal) modifying 'farm' (a tract of land for agriculture), following the regular English noun–noun compounding pattern. This compositional and cross-linguistically common structure makes the phrase immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Chicken farm comes from the simple image of a farm where many chickens are kept to produce 'eggs' or 'meat'. That's why the name directly means a place that raises chickens for sale.
