Verified Reviews for Omlet Walk In Chicken Run
Godsend in flockdown
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!

Clip it...clip it good!
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.

easy to construct
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.

Another excellent piece of design.
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.

Poor design
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.

Great Quality!
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.

Does the job
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
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

Game changer!
We purchased this enclosure for our flock of 6 hens. Our original coop only had a small 4x3 feed run and we knew our girls needed more space. We went with the 6ftx9ftx6ft enclosure which gave our flock plenty of room to scratch but also to perch! The assembly was really simple, everything fit perfectly and it's very sturdy. The predator apron is a bonus and provides us piece of mind. The green blends into the surroundings and we are just so pleased with this purchase.
A few weeks later I decided they needed even more room and we purchased another 3ft extension, so our enclosure is now 6ftx15ftx6.
Quality is great, shipping was fast and overall happy with our purchase.

Great Extension
I feel that my girls have more space to roam around when they are not free ranging and feel secure to leave them when I'm not in.
