You can also order them from B&Q and Homebase.

As for the hens have a look at

You could also ask at the farmers markets someone there is bound to know something. I'd love to keep a few chickens myself but I'm only getting to grips with the veggies - maybe next year.

I looked at the Eglu & at that timethey were not delivering to Ireland - I believe they are now but on top of the £388 sterling for the Eglu, there's a fair delivery charge.....

Thanks for that - hadn't realised they were that readily available . I had four 8ft x 8ft raised beds last year, but had to clear two for some work to the drains, so I'm thinking of puttng one of them back & replacing the fourth with a chicken run........
