Verified Reviews for Omlet Walk In 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

Great idea! Since I lost my last cat running out on a main road, I won't let my new cat out...but felt guilty keeping him in, looking at other products this omlet was more affordable and gave me peace of mind that my cat is safe,but has some out door activity ...

Very much the most expensive coop and run available but I wanted something that would require as little maintenance as possible and I think this is it. Excellent design. Top class materials and manufactured quality as far as one can tell at this stage. Fairly easy to assemble and the instruction manuals backed up by the videos are excellent. Your people on the helpline were brilliant in helping me through my indecision about what to buy and what I could fit into a very limited space My only gripe is the description of the run as 2m x 3m. Probably I haven't studied the specification in sufficient detail but I think I might reasonably have expected that by selecting 2m x 3m I would have a run which made 6 square metres available to the chickens to run round in. In fact, the internal dimensions of the run are only 2.7 m x 1.81 m which computes to 4.9 square metres - less than 84% of what I was expecting. It's true that with the predator proofing it measures 3 x 2 m of space and it's probably my own fault for not reading the spec carefully enough but I still feel a bit cheated out of a whole square metre of run. I will recommend it to anyone who wants the best and is prepared to pay for it but I will point out that the dimensions are not what they might seem.

I bought this a few years ago and it's still going strong. Its a good quality build, but.. The top section has a wider grid which allows wild birds and rats in. I have solved it by attaching extra chicken wire but it was a faff. Have had rats in the past so now it stands on a concrete base and I dont leave any feers or food out over night.

Bought this for my girls after a dog came over their old (open top) fencing. Upsides: -Instructions are fairly easy to figure out. I wish there was a bit more wording in addition to the pictures, but I got there -Covered run provides extra security -Double door lets me drop in treats without the girls escaping -6' tall model lets my girls stretch their wings. The easter eggers in particular love it. -The color is pretty unobtrusive, several neighbors were baffled with how we were keeping our girls in such a small space. Downsides: -This is definitely not made to work well on uneven ground. I live in WV where the land is absolutely never even, and it made assembly a bit of a nightmare and it still sits very skewed. Makes it a bit of a struggle to close the lower door and several points don't quite meet -It would be nice to have a latch between the top and bottom of the door so you could pull them both closed or both open at once if needed. It's come up a few times when I'm working in the run, so I'll probably jury rig something at some point -Some of the parts stick in the bottom of the boxes, so make absolutely sure you have EVERYTHING out of your boxes before you toss them. I've taken to pulling my boxes apart and collapsing them just to be sure

Everything is perfect but 1 star less due to the extremely poor instructions and videos. This is definitely a 2 person construct, and start very early. You'll need all day for this larger size. It's good and sturdy. Door is well made and easy to use. Even though it was a bugger to put up, I would buy it again..

I bought this recently after a massive spate of badger attacks on out chickens and I was terrified about my ducks being got next! Please be aware everyone that foxes are not the only thing out to get your birds, badgers are even worse! Got this due to the strong mesh wire and skirt around the bottom. Was disappointed to find out that the secure screws for the skirt did not come with the run, with the cost of it I would of thought so! So we had to abandon the project until these arrive as with uneven ground, I bet the badger will easily dig under the run. Other than that, very impressed with the size, height, relative ease of build (you need 2 people and it will take a while due to all the clips). We will finish up once the screws I have ordered separately arrive and fingers crossed the duckies can stay super safe now!

The run took a long time to put together mainly because myself and my wife struggled with the clips around the posts. We found them very difficult to put on and occasionally had to use ties . The finished product does look goos and the chickens seem to enjoy the extra space

Overall, this product is fantastic. Last year I lost all my flock to a fox due to a nonsecure run so this year I made the investment for this run. Great build quality and with the addition of the ground screws it will be the Fort Knox of chicken runs. MY ONLY COMPLAINT- the directions were terrible. If you aren't intuitive with directions, you will have a hard time. It needed more detailed step-by-step directions with pictures. Other than that, we are very happy with our purchase!

After deciding to purchase the cube, I got to see an Amish built chicken run with wheels. Very nice, very expensive but did not have the wire skirt to keep predators from digging under the wire. I decided it would be great for raising meat birds. I went ahead and ordered an Omlet run instead. Took two of us about 5 hrs to build. Instructions are terrible, and we didn't argue THAT much. It is going to work great for my purposes however. Do wish Omlet offered a wheel kit for the run. I have an Amish friend fabricating something that will allow me to pop on some wheels and move it a short distance - by myself. Quite certain it would need 2 to 3 people to move otherwise. So happy to have found Omlet. I live alone and I have wanted chickens for some time, but being a woman of 63, building a coop myself isn't possible. Not to mention, I wanted to be able to move them around the yard for fresh grass etc without them taking up residence on my deck. The run and the Cube answered all my requirements and probably cost me about the same (or less) as a home built stationary coop and yard. My chicks are only 5 days old. Can't wait to see how this will work for them and me.
