About Us

Galtee Mountain Poultry began almost eight years ago when I bought six hens, and a Rooster. Though the housing for them wasnt great at the time, I put alot of my time into looking after them. They layed lots of eggs in the summer time, way more than what we could use, so I began selling to neighbours etc. Then it hit me one day, maybe I could open a business selling eggs. Unfortunatley I was young at the time and life drew me away from poultry for some time. However I extended my flock about four years ago. I planned then that I would build a new and improved chicken coop to properly secure them against preditors like foxes, minks, etc. So I looked online and watched a lot of videos on how to build chicken coops. I liked some, didn't like some, loved some, and hated some. But I found similarities, that most if not all chicken coops had, such as nesting boxes, roosting bars, ventilation windows, etc. I wanted to start building straight away but I knew that I wouldnt have the tools, the space or quite frankly the capital to do it. So I waited, and waited then I waited some more, eventually I had enough time, space and money to buy matierials, and begin to build. It didn't take long for me to build it, I'd say it was built and installed in about three weeks. Then I got a few more chickens and then I ventured onto building the business ''Galtee Mountain Poultry''
