What does SEXER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A person trained to determine the sex of young animals, especially day-old chicks.
On a poultry farm, a sexer examines newly hatched chicks and sorts them into male and female groups so that hens can be raised apart from birds kept for meat. The skill takes real training, since the visible differences in a day-old chick are extremely small, and an experienced sexer can check hundreds of birds in an hour. The same word is used more broadly for anyone whose job involves judging the sex of young animals, not only poultry, though the role has become less common as automated methods spread through the industry.
How SEXER is used
Occupational term used mainly in poultry farming and animal breeding contexts.
