I'll let you Google that one. I actually want to tell you a story...
I was just looking through Facebook at the #ChickenLover hashtag and noticed this Fancifowl bracelet thing, whatever the fuck that's all about. A few people had posted pictures of chickens with bracelets on their legs and it showed on the said hashtag.
I took it upon myself to post the FBI emblem on not only the Fancifowl page itself, but also to the pages of people posting their product on their own pages and linking to the hashtag (where privacy settings allowed me to do so).
One of those posters almost immediately linked a friend to the post after I left them the FBI emblem, then the next time I looked about 10 minutes later THEIR ACCOUNT HAD BEEN DEACTIVATED! They may have blocked me but that's not what's happened here, their account is simply unavailable now. Just like that, poof!
Looks like I hit the spot there, seems the chicken bracelet things could be some kind of identifier. Maybe it's the actual bracelets, maybe it's a means to post something on Facebook without it being immediately obvious as to what it really means. This is no shit, eh?
If you run a Google search, best to enclose it in quotes else it might search for "fanciful" (which is presumably what it actually means).
This is their website, could probably use some eyes on it...

Ok, their "contact" photo is a bit creepy given the chicken context. Shirtless young boy staring into the camera holding a chicken.
The fact that they have a butterfly and a heart-within-a-heart "chicken bracelet" is also a red flag. Oh, and how the hell do you make enough money selling leg bracelets for chickens to maintain a business?
Good find, OP.

I haven't looked at their website yet as I need to fire up the proxy, but I think I know the image because it's on their Facebook page as well (which now has a lovely FBI image attached to it). Is it something like a 3-year-old? If that's the one, he doesn't look topless, it actually looks like he might be naked (with the chicken obscuring any further obscenities). Your point is spot on - that does not look like a viable money-making scheme in and of itself, so it smacks of a front. The fact that the individual who posted a picture of normal chickens with those bracelets deactivated their account minutes after I posted the FBI logo, means they absolutely shat themselves. I wonder why, huh?
Okay, I'm not seeing the image on their website. Yanno, I think they've removed it from their Facebook.
