Etymology
Poultryman comes from poultry, a word that originally meant birds kept for food and comes from an old word for a 'young bird', like a pullet meaning a 'young hen'. A poultryman is simply a man who sells or cares for those birds, which is why the word means someone who deals in chickens, ducks, and eggs.
