Native Irish breeds of poultry.

I'm just wondering are there any breeds of poultry native to Ireland?

NO connor, Poultry are from china originally and the domesticated version comes from there!

roy just said id inform you that that aint me asking the question its someone genuinely asking a question !!

well the answer remains the same no matter what name or alter ego you go by,
Regards,
Roy

ok

The ancestors of all our chickens may have come from ther Roy but different breeds were developed in different parts of the world. For example Rhode Island Red develope in America. John there is a breed called Irish game which given its name must have been developed here. Althought it seems to be very rare here. Try this link.http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/Irish/BRKIrishGame.... Ps this is definitely a different john and not connor !!!

First breed I thought of was the Irish Henny. John's link has that covered though.

i think there is a muffy developed here as well?

Roy.

Serious question. There's no need for the smart answers.

Sorry... What? How is that a smart answer? There is an irish Breed called a muffy hen or something along those lines. It is a kind of Irish game bird and a breeder called Robert Bennett from Comber in Co. Down had some but they were stolen. Ill find out more. I accept that this is not the same John that Connor calls himself.

RIGHT!!! There is a breed called a Muffy hen and it is a game bird bred and developed in Ireland! Serious answer and no need for smart reprimands! ;0)
