I have learned this word from teaching. No wonder that teaching is another kind of learning, and I did learn a lot from teaching, more than I expected.
Actually, people might not use the word very often in a daily conversation. At least, I don't hear it very often. However, there might be more chances that people see the word than hearing the word.
The word is often used in a supermarket or a deli store.
When it is used as an uncountable noun, the meaning of the word is "meat." Meat from birds, such as chicken or duck.
When people eat chicken or duck, they rarely say that the meat they eat is poultry, they just say "chicken" or"duk." Therefore, the word is rarely heard in a concersation. However, if you go to a supermarket or a deli store, you might find a board with poultry on it.
