The poultry industry in the UK and Ireland are huge, so huge in fact that farmers are worried that they aren’t going to be able to keep up with demand. Farmers are urging ministers to speed up planning process for newer poultry farms or import birds to keep up with demand.
The new wave of shoppers “buying British” has caused production of UK-reared chickens to struggle to keep up. Without expanding the industry more, increasing poultry farms and farmers we may fall back into importing poultry from goodness knows where.
That’s why now is a good time to start looking int0 the poultry industry. If you think you’ve got what it takes, what’s stopping you? You don’t even have to stop at poultry as in meat, chickens can also supply eggs, and are very easy to look after. You may need to purchase some special equipment, feeders, drinkers and incubators but overall it should not be a problem at all.
There are lots of suppliers of poultry equipment out there, Mac Eoin is one of them, you can a great bit of poultry equipment from their website found here.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
