What is another word for broilers?
Pronunciation: [bɹˈɔ͡ɪləz] (IPA) 
Broilers are not just limited to chickens. This word can also be used to refer to other animals such as ducks, turkeys, and quails that are raised specifically for meat. Alternative names for broilers include fryers, young chickens, roasters, and broiler-fryers. The term "fryer" specifically refers to a chicken that is less than 8 weeks old and weighs around 2 to 2.5 pounds. Roasters, on the other hand, are older birds that weigh around 5 to 7 pounds and are between 8 to 12 weeks old. Regardless of the name used, all broiler species are raised to produce tender and flavorful meat that is highly sought after in the culinary world.
