Customer Reviews

I am a first time chicken keeper and I wanted something that would last, would allow me to move my chickens around, and was easy to clean. After hours and hours of research (my YouTube is filled with chicken coop reviews!) I settled on the Eglu Omlet. I am so glad that I did. This thing has proven to be everything the reviews said it would be… extremely difficult to put together for sure, but worth the initial hassle. I have 6 chickens (sapphire gems and buff orpingtons) and I initially purchased the 6 ft run extension. I used that for about 4 months before purchasing another 3ft run extension. I decided to purchase the run extension mostly as winter is coming (we live in the Midwest) and I want to provide them more room when the coop is being moved less. With a total of 12ft (and no run handles) my 2 year old daughter pushes the coop and I pull on the run and we have no problem moving it around the yard. It is difficult if I don’t have a pusher as even my little 2 year old makes a big difference in the mobility. We only allow supervised free ranging due to a pair of nesting bald eagles who would love a chicken dinner so the coop is moved almost daily to allow them access to fresh grass and dirt. I have 2 perches in there that they love and they were worth the money. I purchased the automatic door initially and am so glad I did. That is 100% worth the cost (and I would not want to add it on later given the hassle of building the thing). I also purchased the coop light, though honestly I think it just confuses them and so I have not had it on recently. Could have done without the light as my chickens are in bed 20 minutes before dusk. This coop is super easy to clean! My 2 snd 5 year olds loves to scrub at it with the soap and dish brush. It doesn’t take long and all components look like new. Very easy to empty the bedding every couple of days. If the makers are taking recommendations I would love to see a small storage compartment to hold treats. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality, predator proofing, cleaning abilities, accommodations, and mobility of this coop. I love it!

This fence is easy to set up and install, the parts are well made. I found that my chickens can escape by going under or flying over the fence. The ground in my yard is not perfectly even so the fence has some spots that are not as tight as others, meaning they sometimes escape. But it works most of the time. It isn't really a tall enough fence to keep any hen from flying over, except maybe the heaviest breeds. I have Orpingtons and they can fly over but not easily.

This door is very easy and quick to install. I use it to allow another entry/exit for my chickens. The door is small and designed only for your animal’s use. It is not big enough to pass larger waterers or feeders through. However if placed above ground height you would be able to add feed or water and/or move them slightly. I do suggest getting two, one for the upper and one for the lower area of your coop to allow more access. I am very happy with the door as I am with all my Omlet products.

Chickens loves it and they treating it as a perch. Where do chicken love to sleep? On the perches! So they abandoned the house and started to sleep on this perches. It was Ok in the summer, we let them sleep outside. Now it is getting colder but they refuse to go to the Omlet house. At the momemt we take them one by one and place in the house for the night. Not sure how long it will continue

I purchased 4 coops for 11 birds and they sort themselves out at night ( as they have their chicken friends and they nest/stick together ). we live in Upstate NY ( Hudson area close to the Massachusetts and Connecticut borders ). Our winters while not always brutal are often in the single digits and certainly in the teens. PLEASE put straw or bedding down. I noticed immediate happiness for the girls instead of the cold plastic which is slipper and my hens dont like at all ( in the summer I keep a thin layer of shredded small pet paper bedding in there ) . ALSO A CAUTIONARY TALE!!!! Check your open EGLU’S for predators before the ladies go to bed at night. We had a stealth Raccoon find his way into one during the day and patiently wait. He new the routine! It could have been a devastating feeding frenzy…with the girls unable to escape! Fortunately I’m always home and fairly crazy about my hen’s happiness, so I make a habit of checking the coops - especially before bed! Don't think for a minute that predators are only nighttime feeders. An easy meal.. is an easy meal, and it’s a horrible death for a beloved hen. We have a 900sq ft predator proof run and I also free range them when I’m home during the day. The raccoon simply walked through the open gate.

I ordered the run set and decided to wait and see wether the run handles were really needed. While it is possible to move the run without handles it is so much easier with them and definitely easier on my back! They take seconds to install.

My rabbit drinks from a bowl but recently has been purposely tipping it as soon as I refill it so I needed something that could attach to the run. This is huge and fits so well on the run. Now I know she has plenty of water even on hot days and she can’t tip it out!

Pretty easy to set up using instructions provided. Seems to work as promised so far! It’s nice to not have to run out first thing to let the girls out.

Exactly what I needed. Safety feature is great, tested it on my hand a few times. Love the light sensor setting and the additional coop light I added to the order. Great peace of mind knowing my girls are all safely tucked into bed each night. Install was quick and easy. Works flawlessly

I got these a while back and they have been absolutely bombproof! They have survived my Hyperactive pug jumping on/off the dog bed with no problem. They also look fancy so win win!
