Verified Reviews for Omlet Walk In Chicken Runs
Nice run
This run is great, the main plus being that it is (hopefully) predator proof. However I had intended to move it every week so that the chickens could be on grass. It takes 3 of us to lift it and it feels like it is going to fall apart. It is obviously not designed to be moved. On the whole though I am very happy with it.

Fantastic
Cons:
At over £500 it is a lot of money
It is a big job to put it together - especially building it with just one person
Having said that it only needs to be built once, even though I wont' be offering to put another one up, as it will last for years and years the price does offer good value for money.
All of the above should be ignored, though, as these runs look fantastic, are secure and safe for the chickens and the double door means that you can get in and out but also open half of it for access without the hens getting out.
You can also get in and pet the hens - if that's your sort of thing.
I would definitely recommend one of these runs. they are perfect.

Walk in run
Safe run with plenty of space for the chickens. They sat on a log and watched us build it, just wish I had the camera at the time. This makes feeding so much easier. We have my brothers old classic eglu (about 10 years old and still going strong) for now but would like a new cube at some point which will be easier to clean out.

Spacious
I was disappointed it was made in CHINA. If I knew this beforehand, then I would not have bought it. The rubber on the door stop was already torn. Nice, sturdy door otherwise. I also really like the curved ground pieces. 4 stars because it is dainty looking and attractive.

So much easier than a low run!!
The walk in run makes looking after the chickens so much easier. No scrabbling on your knees trying to catch them if needed, and more space for them to flutter up onto perches.
Down side is when a roof cover is attached, even if the run is secured to the floor, a gale will move it!! Adaptations now made to rectify this.

Fabulous!
Easy to put together but do allow a couple of hours. The instructions were great. My girls are now very safe!

Purchased 2x2x1 run
Quality product that was easy to assemble. Recommended 2 people, I did it by myself. Held up well against by kid's kickball game in my backyard. Chickens love it. Not an eye-sore.

Fabulous!
I had a couple of issues with the delivery but these were swiftly resolved by Omlet. I couldn't fault their resolution.
Thrilled with the pen, easy to erect and is so much easier to tend to my girls. Free from rodent and fox intrusion!
My girls feel safe and most of all with the space they are very happy. Thank you!

Fantastic Purchase
I have 4 bantam hens and I've tried various different constructs and housing ideas for them over the years. They had an eglu go with the attached run but when the avian flu outbreak happened, they were in this small run permanently and it just wasn't enough space for them.
I'd heard many good things about the walk in run and I sent a couple of enquiries over to a lady in the office called Silvia who was extremely helpful and friendly, she took all the time in the world to send me the information I needed to make my purchase. I decided to buy the basic package and one extension pack so that I had a 2 m x 3 m run.
The shipping was prompt and the item was well packaged, the instructions were easy to follow and it took about two hours for two of us to put the run together. The time taken more than anything is to attach and connect all of the clips as there are quite a few and the end result is an extremely sturdy, well built and attractive run.
The quality of these walk in runs are 2nd to none; there just simply isn't anything better on the market in my opinion and the fact that it's green helps it to blend into the garden where is most are made of silver poles and stretched chickenwire...this one looks attractive in the garden.
I also took the opportunity to purchase myself a connector so that I could attach the coop to the outside of the run and not loose space inside and this is extremely well fitted and very fox proof in my opinion.
My girls are very happy now that they have a permanent stationary residence and it allows me to know that they are safe but still have adequate space to enjoy their time safely away from predators.
I like the fact with the runs that you can purchase additional extensions so if you want you run to be bigger, taller or longer then you can always purchase these at a later date whereas most runs on the market do require you to pick your size and then you are stuck with it. This makes it difficult if you need a big run but you don't have the funds. I do intend to make my run a full height walk in and possibly even a little bit longer in the future and it's nice to know that I simply need to just attach the extensions.
To top it all off, when an offer was run 2 days after my purchase, omlet were kind enough to refund me the difference is well. The customer service is 2nd to none, the product is extremely well built and I'm so pleased with the purchase and wish that I'd put the original money into this in the first place instead of trying to find a cheaper alternatives.
If you are on the fence about this purchase all I can say is it's worth every penny that you spend!
