Verified Reviews for Omlet Walk In Chicken Run

Over a month ago now we lost one of our beautiful call ducks to a fox, we had had our previous coop for 2 years with no problems but one particular day a fox managed to bite through the chicken wire and take our beautiful Phin. Absolutely devastated and angry we started our hunt for a replacement coop, we also have chickens and liked the idea of housing them all together. I had heard of Omlette before and upon lots of research only ever read good things about them. We decided to go for the 2x2x1 walk in run for the time being and then plan to extend it up and outwards one day when finances allow. It took myself and my husband a good couple of hours to construct the coop but was really quite simple to build, the instructions are really helpful and there are also YouTube videos if you find it easier to watch someone build it. We dug up the grass underneath and laid metal mesh panels, next we covered those with a thick weed membrane followed by a thick layer of poultry friendly wood chip. We reinforced the skirt of the coop with the large screw in pegs and attached a wooden log border around the coop for extra security but also to help keep the wood chips inside. We added the Omlette clear covers on top and some on the sides for additional cover from the elements. Along with two nest boxes bought from Amazon and the Omlette chicken perch our coop is finally complete. We are absolutely over the moon with the finished product and could not recommend highly enough. The mesh is thick and not able to be bent with bare hands. The lock is secure and safe. The covers are highly waterproof and also do a great job of creating shaded areas on sunnier days. Our ducks and chickens are really happy with their new space and have been getting along really well. If you currently have a chicken wire coop please please invest in one of these coops - your poultry is not safe from foxes with chicken wire which we found out the hard way. Worth every penny and I love that you can extend and add features in the future. Thank you so much Omlette for creating such a perfect coop and for giving us back confidence that our animals are safe :)

The walk in chicken run is excellent, purpose made and strong, I'm very happy leaving my girls during the day knowing they are safe (as we can't see them from the house). I have 6 hens (3 bantams and 3 chickens) and it gives them access to the grass area next to their coup. They love it and I'm thinking of spoiling them with some toys!

I bought a 2x3x2 walk in chicken run in May ‘21 I’m so pleased I did. It’s stood the test of time throughout the harsh Cumbrian winter and is a safe sanctuary for my girls to explore during flockdown, and for that reason alone, it’s been invaluable. My one complaint is that it isn’t rodent/small bird proof (and I don’t think it claims to be) but it has meant that I’ve had to essentially wrap it in fine netting in the interests of preventing spread of bird flu if nothing else. That’s not deterred me from thinking about extending my run when the budget allows!

Wow. Incredible product. Fits together fantastic. My husband and I felt like pros putting it together one clip click at a time. Very user friendly and stable product.

excellent covered space However, the angle of Eglu leaves gap for wild bird access. Have closed off, but note persistent sparrows are small enough to squeeze through the panels. Have had to attach garden netting to restrict sparrows.

Works very well. I expanded my mobile Eglu set up because of Avian flu and needing to keep the hens contained for a while instead of free ranging them in the garden. It meant I lost the ability to move the run easily because the 6ftx6ft walk in run extension is big and bulky once assembled. It is though well designed and easy to assemble by two people. I did most of it on my own and another pair of hands would have been very welcome for some of the fiddly bits. The barn door gate panels arrived bent unfortunately but were usable so I didn't return them. The gate latches are excellent.

Having spent over a thousand pounds on a chicken run and egul, I am really disappointed that the design is flawed, so rats can easily get in and out. I purchased the run because we of the strong wire and skirt around the outside would stop the rats. I even buried extra wire under the ground of the run to stop them tunneling in it but it was all a waste of time and money. The rats just use the wire sides as a ladder to get half way up, where the gaps in the wire are twice as large so they can get through. The only way to stop this is to make the whole run the same sized wire as the lower part.

I put this large unit together by myself. The parts are very well made, durable and attractive. The finished product is strong and stable and great looking.

I bought this last month because of the Avian Flu requirements to house my five Bamtans who are usually free range in the garden. The girls are not happy being restricted but are much happier now that I’ve added perches at different levels and clear tarpaulins over the top. It’s not that easy to construct on your own but I did it over four days. It takes 4 people to move it so I’d suggest constructing it exactly where you want it. Once up it’s excellent.

Good product, expensive not that easy to put together and clips tend to fall off Delivery was painful but no doubt because of covid Would probably buy again
