I bought this for just two hens. One is happy to use it, the other doesn't like to, she seems fearful to put her head inside and therefore not be able to see around. It would be better less deep.

Over a month ago now we lost one of our beautiful call ducks to a fox, we had had our previous coop for 2 years with no problems but one particular day a fox managed to bite through the chicken wire and take our beautiful Phin. Absolutely devastated and angry we started our hunt for a replacement coop, we also have chickens and liked the idea of housing them all together. I had heard of Omlette before and upon lots of research only ever read good things about them. We decided to go for the 2x2x1 walk in run for the time being and then plan to extend it up and outwards one day when finances allow. It took myself and my husband a good couple of hours to construct the coop but was really quite simple to build, the instructions are really helpful and there are also YouTube videos if you find it easier to watch someone build it. We dug up the grass underneath and laid metal mesh panels, next we covered those with a thick weed membrane followed by a thick layer of poultry friendly wood chip. We reinforced the skirt of the coop with the large screw in pegs and attached a wooden log border around the coop for extra security but also to help keep the wood chips inside. We added the Omlette clear covers on top and some on the sides for additional cover from the elements. Along with two nest boxes bought from Amazon and the Omlette chicken perch our coop is finally complete. We are absolutely over the moon with the finished product and could not recommend highly enough. The mesh is thick and not able to be bent with bare hands. The lock is secure and safe. The covers are highly waterproof and also do a great job of creating shaded areas on sunnier days. Our ducks and chickens are really happy with their new space and have been getting along really well. If you currently have a chicken wire coop please please invest in one of these coops - your poultry is not safe from foxes with chicken wire which we found out the hard way. Worth every penny and I love that you can extend and add features in the future. Thank you so much Omlette for creating such a perfect coop and for giving us back confidence that our animals are safe :)

Stairs are unsafe and not easy for larger breads to use. A ramp would be a lot more practical. I am in the process or constructing and new ramp. I also have removed the roosting rack because it is slippery and my chooks won't use it. I'm quite underwhelmed with my purchase.

I thought I was ordering the 3 sided blanket. We have had single digit temperatures this winter and I have added additional blankets to keep the chickens warm enough. The 3 sided blanket is much better and keeps the chickens warmer.

Super heavy duty! A bit of a challenge to install alone but otherwise no complainta

This gives us peace of mind if we are out past dusk. Except for the chicken that rules the roost and gets locked out. Delivery was well over a month though.

In the past I’ve been using empty lemonade bottles with holes for my hens afternoon treat of broken corn however they didn’t last long. These Omlet ones are perfect and I’m hopeful they will survive a really long time in spite of the ferocity my girls attack them with!

The walk in chicken run is excellent, purpose made and strong, I'm very happy leaving my girls during the day knowing they are safe (as we can't see them from the house). I have 6 hens (3 bantams and 3 chickens) and it gives them access to the grass area next to their coup. They love it and I'm thinking of spoiling them with some toys!

I have bought these before and am expanding my flock. Very useful to keep food off the ground, give some exercise and birds learned to use them quickly. Very happy with them but one simple improvement that could be made would be to bevel/add some ridges the screw cap - this can be slippery to handle in cold, wet or frozen weather.

As soon as this was out of the box my cat was kneading it & purring very loudly. She hasn't been in her old bed since & I'm quite jealous when I see how comfy she is in this. I'm really glad I purchased it for her.
