Hi, the four girls and I are new to the community and we have been together for just over a week. I've been following some of the posts for guidance and have just about found time to join.
The information I've found here has been really helpful, what a wonderful resource. I'll be taking some time to get used to where things are here and look forward to getting to know you )
You may want to visit "where am I, where are you," thread to see if there is one for Ireland. That way you can find out what breeds do best in your climate, where the good sources are for feed, chicks, medications etc. We have many on here from Ireland and other countries among our 200,000 members.
