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.

The girls love pecking at the treat balls in this caddy holder.

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.

I had to change the birdfeeder and water instead of using the one I bought with the cage. My bird didn’t not like them. Love the cadge

we needed to look after grandchildren 6 hens for a month!!! Instead of trying to refurbish the old hen house and run we decided to go eglu as one of our daughters already had the small one in Newcastle and loved it. First night in operation hens went straight up steps to bed, 2 eggs next day and have been very happy for a week now. No doubt when hens go home we will get a few more ourselves... Eggcelent product.
