Them services are riddled in red tape.it would cost you an arm and a leg to register for that and you would have fcukers over every day clicking biros and completing meaningless inspection after inspection.
If any fcuker got a dose of the wild sh1tes then after eating an egg they would probably sue you.
You should keep a jog of hens for yourself but I wouldn’t bother with supplying anyone else.
When you would have it all on paper you would probably make sweet nothing

John Quinlan is delivering eggs, flour and toilet roll and other items, he's advertising on Deise Buy and Sell.

I know people who get eggs from him and they recommend him.

mymilkman.ie ours brings eggs, milk, bread and juice three times a week to us and we have had no issue with egg supply.

The eggs aren't local local but are from a farm based in Drogheda.

All paid for online, very simple to use and will locate your nearest milkman based on your address think there's a mymilkman app but I just do it online.

Hens don't make much noise - and for every one they lay you won't be needing to buy a commercial product that probably came from a battery setup.

As far as the nostalgia goes, I remember growing up in walking distance to the local shop before it was squeezed out by the supermarkets. I think there is a real desire to see them return in many places.

I've got hens in my back garden and I'm in the city. They're easy keep and are quieter than dogs. The odd one might cluck after laying an egg or if they feel threatened. The ones I have at the moment are rescue hens that I got nearly 2 years ago and they're still laying.

The only problem with keeping hens is they draw in rats.
Anywhere there was ever a hen there was rats.
Also the old saying rings true.

I think this refers to the fact that they lay less as they get older. A hybrid will lay about 320 eggs a year. If you wanted the cheapest eggs you could possibly buy you wouldn't be considering this option.

Rats aren't inevitable, but like anything else in your garden that's a risk like a compost heap or bird feeders you have to be mindful of rats if you leave stuff out that'll draw them in.

Locking food in metal bins, or a Steel Tec shed, securing your coop properly etc will lower your risk. I have dogs too which puts rats off, neighbourhood cats will also keep vermin levels low.

We've a load of foxes in the area which kill rats and chickens - all part of nature.

Is this when they lay eggs once a day between about 9-12?

Or have they a rooster in there?

One of them can be noisy as early as 8, but yeah it's mostly at those times. No rooster. They also get noisy (and the neighbour's dog) whenever an inquisitive cat comes along but they're well protected.

Totally worth it for the eggs of course.

Most of the grass area is fenced off because they were destroying it. The coop is on a paved patio and when they're out that's what they stick to.

We have the same problem.they destroy lawns and flower beds and if you fence them in on grass they turn it into a bare muddy swamp.
They’re never worth the hassle

The hens and the house are my housemate's so I'm not too bothered.

You could consider rotating the area where you let them graze, or throwing a bit of straw or sawdust down.
