Hobby Breeders
We breed as hobbyists and we regularly have fertile eggs, day old chicks, growers, and adult fowl which are surplus to our requirements for sale.
Beginners
When considering keeping poultry it's useful to keep in mind their purpose and available space before deciding on which breed to keep. Take time to research your choice and ask questions - use forums, research websites etc. before coming to a decision.
Click on Beginners Guide for further information. You will find answers to many of your questions on our FAQ page. For a more in depth, practical experience we run a regular workshop; Chicken Keeping for Beginners.

Pricing
The price varies between breeds as a reflection of the ease of breeding and the rarity or otherwise of the birds.
Generally:
Day Old Chicks range from about €4.00 - €5.00 (depending on breed) increasing by €1.00 per week as they age, until grown.
Marans, Light Sussex and Rhode Island Red are at the lower end of this scale with the slower, more difficult to breed and rarer birds at the higher end.
Jersey Giants are classified as 'Rare Breeds' by the Irish Poultry Society and as such, the blue variety of these are a little more expensive.
We can supply point of lay hybrid pullets and ducklings all year round and goslings in spring only, please contact us for current prices.
Fertile Eggs
We have a very limited no of fertile eggs available in various breeds at the moment. Please Contact Us if you have specific needs.
Collection
Eggs when available are best collected but can be dispatched by post or courier, whichever you choose. Birds, of course, must be collected and don't forget to bring a carrier with you when you come.
