Does anyone know where we can
bring our 5 hens and 1 cockerel
while we are away on holidays?
We live in Cork / Kerry area!!!

I would suggest you to contact local animals rescues and vets. They must know about "chicken holiday homes" in your area or one of their volunteers may be interested in... You even could try asking to a dog walker. Mine takes care of my rodents, fish and shrimp tanks, etc. while I am away.

Another solution are automatic poultry doors:
