It's already in effect. Here's a link to their Commerce Policy. Animals are number five.

I had three of my four posting removed because I was selling roosters.
This is why I was thinking of making a site where we could sell our farm animals and...
With the new Facebook ban on selling animals would there be any interest in a classified site where people can post their animals and various farm items? I have an idea for a site where people would have a simple profile so when people buy or sell an item they could see a little about who they...
Hi everyone. Figured I'd share my web camera that I have on my chickens in the brooder. They have been hatching over the last two days and they will continue hatching for the next few weeks.
I hope you enjoy it!

I’ve wanted to get chickens for a while now and my wonderful wife got me six baby Araucana chicks for my birthday. So now I had to figure out a way to house them once they were grown, and not go broke in the process.
The old dog house with the sides and back cut out.
I decided to take my dogs...
As a new chicken owner I realized that once my chickens (6 Araucanas) were outside and growing faster than ever I would have to fill their old chicken feeder daily. Which is OK, but I didn't have the time.
I found that most commercial feeders at the store cost around $30. I wanted to see if I...
Are there any breeds of heritage turkeys that would go better with chickens? What about the smaller breeds of turkey. I forget what they're called, something like a micro tom?
Also how loud are the Toms? Are they like roosters in that they are constantly crowing?
Also would a turkey help...
I have the same problem. Mine sleep in the bushes next to the coop. When I first got the chickens they slept in the coop all the time. But for the last month or so they sleep out side. I tried confining them for three days but it really didn't help. The only temporary improvement is that one of...
What do you do if they just peck a hole in the shell and only eat the yolk? I've lost all my eggs over the last week. Here's a picture of one of the eggs.
Ya, whenever I go in the pen I bring a treat or refill their food. So whenever I start walking toward the pen they all come running. My wife calls me the Pied Piper of chickens. How many days of lock down do you recommend?
It's bigger than it looks. It's not huge though. I'm not sure off the top of my head as to how big it is but it should be close to 18 square feet. The chickens are free-range. They're not supposed to be. I stopped try to keep them in the pen. The pen itself is quite large, approximately 35' x...
That's a good idea. I'm assuming that I would keep plenty of food and water and such in there right? Normally I have all that outside. I did some research before I built my coop and built it based on the minimum square foot that each chickens needs. There's more than the minimum recommended...
Over the last month or two my chickens have begun sleeping in some tall bushes that are near their coop. I have another one that sleeps under my grill on the back porch. I have to go out every night and put them in the coop. Any thoughts about why they stopped sleeping in the coop? Will they...
I had the same thing happen. I found one in the middle of the coop and one in the middle of the pen. They were weird looking. It's only happened once and the chickens were about 7 months old.
Very Cool! I've got some araucanas, and hopefully they should start laying soon. When they start laying, will they lay them in the coop or should I keep my eyes open around the yard?

This waterer was so impressive, I went right out to Home Depot and bought the parts. 15 bucks later and I no longer have to carry a heavy waterer out to the coop! Thanks!
That's a very good idea. Nice!
