A person who keeps animals in their backyard; someone who raises chickens, goats, or other livestock at home.
From 'backyard' (back + yard) plus '-er' (agent suffix). Emerged in the 20th century as urban homesteading became more common.
The backyarder movement exploded during COVID when people discovered that chickens provide fresh eggs, eat your scraps, and provide pest control—urban farming isn't new, it's what humans did for millennia before industrial agriculture.
