These are fantastic, they protect the chickens from the wind and the rain. They also like to eat the insects that they find crawling on them.

I use this product in the nest box and my chickens seem to love it. I have also started using it in the cats litter tray and it works perfectly, and is so much cheaper than standard cat litter. I have been using it since February and I still have over 3/4 left.

I bought this product along with my Eglu Cube. It fits the 1m standard run perfectly, and keeps water out while letting the light in. The chickens seem to love drinking the water drops that come off the side, which I find amusing to watch.

The initial pack came without all of the correct fiittings (for the skirt around the extended run). Omlet not only sent them to us without quibble, but sent them again when a relative accidentally took the first parcel to the tip. Thus service was excellent. As in other reviews, putting the thing together was a challenge, but we managed. The run has now been with us for about 6 weeks. The chickens are happy. We used a plank to help them up the steps for the first week - they were only a few weeks old at the time, and quite small, but they soon got the hang of it. The run is easy to clean, and much more convenient than our more traditional hen house, I can move it around the lawn on my own. It certainly needs to be moved every day if the chooks are kept in - they love the grass, and eat it down to the ground, and then scratch gaps around the edge of the pen. This is OK in spring when the grass is growing well, but I think in winter we will need to move it onto hard ground and use woodchips, as suggested. I haven't noticed any fox digging yet, so we haven't yet tested the skirt of the run.

Have used plenty of types of bedding- but this has to be the cleanest bedding used. During recent high winds it did all push up to one side of the coop. Eggs are collected and are a lot cleaner and easier to brush off the bedding!

Unfortunately despite ordering a 3 x 2 x 1 run, I only initially received enough parts to build a 2 x 2. Omlet put this right as soon as they could and I can't fault their customer service in that regard. The run clips are VERY fiddly and it took two of us 3 hours to build, but once complete its perfect.

Nice to have a spare set so my current ones can get a thorough clean. Waited over a week before notifying Omlet that the order hadn't arrived. They quickly posted out another set which as promised was delivered the following day. Very pleased with the service. The original order never did arrive.

Took a while to put together, though once you get the idea, it gets quicker. But well worth the effort as the chickens have so much more space and it doesn't take over the garden.

I have 'inherited' three Bantams from my son who bought the eglo and cover a few years ago so this cover is a replacement and is very good quality and easy to fit. Very quick and efficient service in general as I have since purchased a run extension.

Very robust cover, feels as if it will last forever. Strong elastic to clip it to the run.
