    <p>Speaking as a former farmer and retired agricultural economist,
      this is a type of farmstead, called in OSM "farmyard".<br>
    </p>
    <p>We don't differentiate between farms that produce seeds for
      planting versus grain for consumption. Nor should we differentiate
      between farms that produce chicks for growing out as broilers or
      layers, or the farms that grow out broilers. By the same token we
      do not distinguish between a cow-calf operation (birth to about 8
      months) and a feedlot (8 months to slaughter, usually around 14
      months). Both are farmsteads, and the commodity produced is
      cattle. All that said, we can always add another data point via
      the commodity= tag.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Thus, I would recommend:</p>
    <p>landuse=farmyard<br>
      farmyard=poultry<br>
      commodity=chicks<br>
    </p>
