Can You Write Off Backyard Chickens?
Short answer: No: chickens and coops for family eggs are personal.
If you sell eggs as a business, the costs are deductible against sales.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
