chicken farmer
Explanation:
Eventueel *table* chicken farmer. 'Poultry farmer' kan misschien ook, maar is natuurlijk iets breder. Koeien zijn runderen, maar niet alle runderen zijn koeien, leerder ik vroeger ;-)

PS: Als het om het ei gaat, en dus niet om de kip -- het doet er nu even niet toe welke het eerst was ;-) -- heeft men het meestal over 'egg farmers'.

agree  MoiraB: though, technically, vleeskuikens are broilers, so 'broiler farmers' or broiler chicken farmers' if a distinction needs to be made. Some farmers may just raise chickens for breeding, or eggs as you say.
