Verified Reviews for Outdoor Pet Run - 4 x 5

Bought the additional walk in chicken run (6x6). Has been great with the double doors, so we don't have to stoop to get in to feed/water the chickens. Also makes cleaning the space considerably easy. We were able to connect the Eglu Go Up to fit our space.

I bought my walk in run last November costing just under £1400 with accessories to keep my hens safe from a badger and to follow rules on the threat of Avian Flu. My hens are safe from the badger but not wild birds, who can get in with ease through the larger upper mesh. As the run is 6m x 3m it is going to be some effort to use mesh to keep the birds out. Something I hadnt anticipated when buying it. Omlet have been helpful in informing me that Avian Flu is not a problem at present and that I could have read the Q&A's which told me wild birds could access the run. Thats number 12 on the list. The last advice I got was to put chilli flakes in the hen food as hens don't notice the taste but wildbirds do. Oh dear.

The chickens love the amount of room they have, especially the height as they love to flap up to their perch. It makes it easier for people to go in to move things around or put down more woodchips. It is made well and provides reassurance that the chickens will be safe.

We originally purchased a big box store coop and had to zip tie the entire thing wrapped with chicken wire hundreds of times over and over. I had cuts and blisters. I could kick myself for not getting the Omlet walkin run. I thought saving some $ was the way to go but after comparing the set up on both theres no way I'd get anything other than an Omlet walkin run. There's no lost space. I don't hit my head when I walk out from the middle of the run and the wire mesh is heavy duty!

Does it’s job

Very happy with our Omlet run, highly recommended these, easy to put together looks great with the wood chip down and the clear covers are great.

This was a spluge but very worth it! My husband and I were able to put this together with the Omlet YouTube video tips in 2 days or about 8 hours. The hardest part was the double clips for attaching the skirt, which took some dexterity that was tough in cold temps - the rest was easy peasy. Our chickens LOVE it and we love knowing that our pets have an added layer of protection from the elements and from predators.

We have the Eglu Cube and 6 foot run and it just wasn’t enough PLUS I have back issues so getting inside was difficult. This pen is a great addition! We built it in an afternoon plus, in our garage. Getting it to where we wanted it required 4 adults, two large boards, a trailer and our Gator. Moving it should be interesting. Moving forward, Omlet should change the lower bars’ spacing because it’s difficult to put the feeders/waterer on and take them off. BUT, I can walk in and take care of the hens, and they have plenty of room! The doors and panels are great quality!! All in all - I’m loving this addition!!

There were other option for a walk-in run that were cheaper. However, none were aesthetically appealing or easy to break down and store, including partitions to separate the different breeds within the run. Most people just have hens, but we have a few roosters for breeding purposes. Also, the ability to add high perches, so if one of the boys is getting picked on, they have a safe place to roost. Now my girls can free range in peace. The Eglus already had runs, so the connection kits were easily added. I’m going to put the doors back on Eglu runs, so I can let them out while I clean the walk-in run. I do wish Omlet would come up with a roosting bar inside the coop to accommodate roosters that don’t need a nesting box which they poop in. Roosters are chickens too, and it would make cleaning out their droppings so much easier.
