Welcome to Poulacapple Poultry
We hope you'll enjoy browsing and that you will find something of interest and / or of value here. Like all our projects it's a work in progress, information will be added and removed, changed or updated as the year progresses.
First off, we are not experts in this field, we are just hobbyists who enjoy breeding and rearing poultry and we learn as we go; both from our own successes and mistakes and from the experience of others. We do not have large stocks of any particular breed but our hens lay most days - hence a surplus!!!
We breed as hobbyists and we regularly have fertile eggs, day old chicks, growers, and adult fowl which are surplus to our requirements. Please check out our surplus stock on our For Sale page if you are interested in acquiring any of our hatching eggs or fowl.
Our greatest resource has always been the ability to connect with others in the same field and share knowledge and experience. We've even made some friends along the way .
We hope you'll enjoy browsing our site. it was born out of necessity as there was no single online source of a broad range of reliable information for poultry enthusiasts in Ireland. We are hoping to continually add to this site, as we find useful web sites we will link them under our useful links section, thus making it a resource for all.
We hope it will become a meeting place for like-minded poultry breeders in Ireland and further a field. It is updated constantly with new information as it becomes available. Please feel free to contact us with any information you might have of value, we'll endeavour to include it.
If there's a product you've found of value, a method with which you've had success or any surprises you've encountered which you would like to share with smallholder's in general, please email us. We will post it here so that it can be of value to all.
If there's enough interest in this area and if it does not become too burdensome on us to manage, we hope to develop a community of practice for hobbyists poultry breeders in Ireland by having a viewers page where we will post all of the above.
