Have you noticed that you can't sell birds or eggs but if you do a search they both show up for sale? I get so frustrated. You can list on craigslist though.

All of my sales and give aways have been through Facebook. No issues when following the rules for my county homestead group.

When I do that Facebook threatens me LOL. I see that my local buy, sell, trade page does post my adds but FB still threatens to eliminate me

You're doing it wrong then. My group is not a buy, sell and trade group and that's how you keep FB from threatening you. You can not mention anything about selling the animals in question. You sometimes even have to avoid some of the more common wording conventions that animal sellers have come up with to get it passed them. Again do not use any selling terminology when posting. I see a big thing going on now for raffles and they are calling them waffles instead. You have to be very creative when posting, to the point I think there's new slang coming from the ban of selling live animals on FB.

This is how you format a post
Specifically posting in a group that is just for the sale of animals like Poultry Farm WI

The word "available" is ok to use.

Lights installed tonight to see if eating picks up. Going to get them a pumpkin and a watermelon tomorrow.

How did they do eating today?

Much better!

I made a mix today and fed in two large 10 to 12 inch round pans along with the hopper feeders I keep full in the pen. Mixed meat bird crumble, their normal chick crumble, rooster booster crumble, a seed mix and a soldier fly larva mix all together and put in the two round pans. It was almost all gone by 7:30pm here. I put the rest of the mix in the pans and turned on the lights and they got down and started eating. Its looking like they are back to eating better now. One other thing I did was pull a shade cloth over the front of the coop and door due to the sun hitting that location in the morning and really heating up the coop and it made a big difference.

Good to hear! I don't know how you raise chickens where it's so hot.
Sure it gets hot here, but not over 100 because of the seabreeze and humidity.

But now those kids are going to be so spoiled.
