The walk-in run has been the best-ever Omlet purchase/investment. I live in New England where we get snow and icy conditions for many months out of the year. The walk-in run provides a safe space for the chickens to roam during the months when the coops are stuck in place because they're frozen into the ground or snow prevents you from moving the coop around. I bought the largest size walk-in run available (9ft x 13ft x 6ft) and have never regretted it. I bought Omlet's heavy duty tarps that provide cover over the run panels. This allows for my chickens to have plenty of room while not having to trudge through snow and ice. I cover the ground in the run with straw that I get in bales from the local Agway store. Living in a place that gets a lot of snow, I did buy the Eversprout Never-Scratch SnowBuster roof rake on Amazon to clear the snow from the tarp panels. It works great for those storms with heavy snow.

The tarp is rugged and provides much-needed protection from the elements.

My girls love their catio, the platforms are large and secure with lovely easy to remove pads, the bridge, I think, adds to the rigidity so would recommend getting one! Don’t bother with the pads on the steps and make sure you check the rope, mine doesn’t fit my structure but was all in the same section when purchasing!

The chicken fencing is a great way to quickly expand how much room your flock has to roam while still keeping parts of the garden chicken free (essential if you have a vegetable patch). It's very easy to set up, just cut to size, and thread through the support poles. For those with a run, either walk-in or half height, you can attach the fencing to it with an additional kit so you can instantly expand the amount of run space your chickens have.

We have gone through several sets of moveable fencing over the years. We often looked at the Omlet fencing but always decided it was very expensive compared to other systems we could use. However, all the other sets we have had have developed holes, have had very bendy poles and hence sagging netting and it has always been difficult to keep the hens in - it was a running battle to find out how they got out this time! It got to look really tatty with extra poles put in, concrete bricks laid along the bottom and baler twine tying up the holes! After a recent disaster with my pea seedlings we decided to splash out and get the Omlet fencing. We haven't had it long so I can't speak to its durability. But the height, rigidity of the poles and the netting has defeated the hens and they are now safely contained. Also, it looks good in the garden, really tidy. We got the 42m version and it was quite a bit of work setting it up for the first time but a lot of that work won't have to be done again when we move it. I am really pleased with this fencing and wish we had bought it first time around as it would have been cheaper in the long run and visually much more pleasing.

I am so glad I got this extension. I have 3 booted bantams who do get lots of time out but still have to spend long hours in the run, especially in bird flu season. I had a 3 metre run, but this extra metre seems to give them extra space they really need.

Once up, this eglu cube with 2m run is a sturdy piece of kit and our hens seem very happy in it BUT.. at nearly £1,000 we really feel some sections of it could have arrived already assembled or indeed, that Omlet should offer an assembly service. The assembly booklet is over 60 diagrams long! Our views are that it is; *a two person job. * one of you needs to be physically quite agile as to assemble certain parts you have to get into small places and (at least in our case!) repeatedly need to climb over a 70cm bar. * have experience of complicated flat pack assembly The hardest part is fixing the wire mesh to the bottom section of the stand (for us, the bit under the hutch and with wheels). Once all set up however, it is robust, easy to move and as said, our chooks like it. OBSERVATIONS: 1) be handy if the wire poles (or the hooks) that close the run mesh doors were in a different colour. I’m getting on in years and struggle to see what i am doing esp. at dusk. 2) a hatch/small door would be handy under the stand at the other end of the run so that we can reach in and get a chicken that won’t go to bed! 3) the pull out tray catch is very flimsy and i cant see it lasting the test of time but all good at the moment. In summary, a good product but not easy to assemble.

This book takes you through from hatching to showing, explains all about the different breeds and their needs. It can help you with any ailments they might have and what to look out for. A comprehensive guide and a must for a chicken keeper.

I added 2 doors to 2 coups and set them to dusk/dawn. The chickens put themselves to bed!!!! Fantasict. Easy for me and safer for them. The ducks don't like to go in at dawn so I'm setting that one to 10pm. LOVE LOVE this purchase.

Bought this a few weeks ago and saves me trips in the am and pm opening snd closing the coop door. The chickens love it to as they wake up before me.
