Verified Reviews for Omlet Walk In Chicken Run
Perfect for our girls.
I bought the 4mx2m walk-in run over the summer with plans to remove the lower run on our Eglu Go Up coop, which had served us well but was just too low for us to access. I only got around to putting it up yesterday, just in time for storm Debi.
The run was straightforward and easy to put together once we had all the pieces separated into groups. It took two of us about 4 hours in total and, though the clips can be fiddly, it went together seamlessly. The instructions are not the clearest but the assembly is logical enough once you get started.
We got 4 clear 3m gutter edge panels for the roof but, to allow sufficient overlap, I've had to order a fifth in order to completely cover the roof and have ordered some covers for the side panels . I also used some of the covers off our old run to provide additional rain protection while waiting for the new ones to arrive.
As storm Debi was approaching, we weighted the skirt down with concrete breeze blocks and, despite gale-force winds that tried to lift it off the ground, the run is still standing strong and the girls were well protected from the fierce wind and driving rain.
With hardwood chips on the ground, and the addition of a pole-tree with perches and treat dishes, this whole set-up will keep the girls warm and dry, with plenty to amuse them, during winter lockdown.

Bachelor Pad
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.

Great addition
Our Eglu Cube with added 3ft run was just too cramped. It was nearly impossible for me to get in & out because of arthritis in my knees. We got the 6ft x 6ft Walk In Run and now I can change water and fill the feeder with ease. AND our small flock has much more space.

Peck-tacular run
A fantastic run, which easily accommodates our Omlet cube. Good quality and looks great. This size run will take a while to put up, but the instructions are super-clear and I do recommend watching the video first, which makes things really clear.

Perfect size for happy birds
I love the modularity of the run. There are a lot of pieces but they are light. Although it took a whole day, it was easy to put together by one person. Now my birds are happy and their living space is easier for me to go inside and clean.

A really sturdy well made chicken run
We bought this a month ago to house our chickens in the winter. It is actially 3x7x2 (we added on some sections). Tricky to put up by yourself but a doddle with two people. Beautifully made and survived a branch falling on it in the winds yesterday I highly recommend

I knew it was an excellent product and it didn't disappoint
I have bought various chicken products from Omlet before. I noticed the sale and bought an extension area for my chickens which is a big chicken run fully enclosed and it will give them much more space if there is more avian flu without me having to faff about with it. It is straightforward to construct and with the automatic door on the cube house makes it very low maintenance if I need to be away overnight. I love it and will get more eventually for another extension room.for them.

Love it!
This was easy and logical to assemble with a helper. My chickens are enjoying a safe secure space now they are spending time outside of their brooder. I love that the Eglu Cube fits inside giving us more peace of mind and they get to enjoy some of the accessories.
