National Poultry Day is celebrated on March 19th of every year. Many people love the food items made of feathered creatures. People prefer eating boiled eggs, bread omelette or sandwich and order for a chicken or turkey meat to finish off the day’s menu. Imagine how you will chicken sandwich will taste like without your favourite egg? Thus in some way or other, the domesticated fowl’s meat and eggs we consume today are from the poultry. Without these poultries, all our celebration from Thanksgiving to Christmas and other celebrations wouldn’t be a great success. So why not a special Day for the Poultry that provides you eggs and meat? National Poultry Day is a just for the poultry and all those food items it provides us year long.
