I have been using this product for about 3 months so far. Over the years, I have tried other automatic doors on my home built chicken coop, but I have 2 main challenges: 1. I live in Minnesota where wired AC power is a huge advantage in winter months. 2. My coop is designed in such a way that any automatic door must be mounted INSIDE the coop. Other automatic doors are usually only powered by alkaline batteries that freeze and die in extreme Minnesota winter temps (-30F, -34.4C). However, the Omlet Universal Automatic Chicken Coop Door has an option to use an AC power adapter instead of batteries. The DC transformer has a barrel plug that connects inside the controller. This powers both the drive and the controller from a single power source. Also, other automatic doors are often designed with the drive (motor) and controller (sensors, processor) as part of a single unit, so they can only be mounted OUTSIDE a coop in order for the light sensor to work properly. Fortunately, the controller for the Omlet Universal Automatic Chicken Coop Door is separate from the drive unit, connected by an umbilical cable. This flexible design gives you the freedom to mount the door inside the coop while the controller stays outside, exposed to sunlight. Even better, the door itself slides horizontally, which takes up the smallest footprint on the coop wall, and because it's self-contained in its own frame, it's so much easier to install over other automatic doors. It also has safety sensors that very few other automatic doors have. The controller is simpler and easier to use than other automatic chicken doors. My coop already has windows and an overhead light, but if yours is dark, the Omlet coop light is a nice extra, and simply plugs into the door controller. It's just a really good design, and the entire experience, from installation to operation, is enjoyable. I mounted my controller outside, above the arched doorway of the coop. I mounted the Omlet automatic door inside the flat coop wall, then built a simple box around the door chassis to keep it clean. It's practical, and maintenance-free.

I am pleased with this cat bed. I bought it for my kitten but it is a bit high sided just yet. He cuddles up to the side! I'm hoping that when he grows more he will snuggle into it. The only thing I am disappointed with is that it is quite firm and I had hoped for it to be softer. However, that may come in time with use.

Relatively easy to fit (1m perch) into walk in run. Sturdy and secure for our five girls, who seem to love it.

We haven’t used it yet with chickens but it was easy to put together with very clear instructions. Looks good and we look forward to the obvious ease of cleaning in the future.

These handles are very useful, and make moving the house and run easy, could not do with out these. We move the house and run every night when they are in bed , and when they wake up the next day they have fresh grass, very exciting for them.

We brought this perch for our chickens , they love to perch and get a great view. Well worth the money

So glad we went with a walk in run. It makes visiting and feeding the girls so easy. And saves my back from lots of bending! I also like the amount of space it gives my chickens for walking, scratching, and eating, We added boards rebar hooks around the perimeter as we will need to hold down the covered structure once we have a winter Nor’Easter come through.

We have had this for over one year now and we still love its design. Only picky issue is when cleaning you have to pursuade the birds to fly up on the rests and quickly move the top over to allow cleaning of the base. Unable to empty the seed catcher without removing top part.

Pendent peck toy works great. I bought 3. However, the string provided totally unraveled. I had to replace the string with wire . It would have been nice if an S hooks waere included with the toys. So before you buy it go out and get the S hook and string replacement! The toy part works as promised.

Overall, am happy with the way you can install the roost without nailing it into wood. Love that it can be hung from hardware cloth and in a corner.
