    Omlet Eglu Coop - How to Keep it Warm in Winter??

    That's just it, you have individual rungs. To a chicken there is one that is better and a way to face that is better. Omlets have kind of a grid floor that allows hens to face multiple ways. As described below they have to settle but they aren't stuck with just one orientation. I just introduced...

    Omlet Eglu Coop - How to Keep it Warm in Winter??

    The thing that helps with this is that the roost spots are all even and the same. I've seen plenty of fighting when there are different levels and types of roosts in my friends coops. There can be pushing and shoving to get in first or not let anyone else in, but that happens in any coop. In my...

    Omlet Eglu Coop - How to Keep it Warm in Winter??

    They fit. I was in Montana when I first got this coop, down to -20°F. I'm a bit south in Wyoming now so in theory it's warmer. I'm looking at our weather though and it says we got down to -25 this winter, though I don't think I saw that at my house, I might be in a bit of a microclimate.

    Omlet Eglu Coop - How to Keep it Warm in Winter??

    I just added a 5th bird to mine. One more could probably fit depending on size (I have Plymouth rocks). If I rescue another chicken I'll have to adjust my winter roost. I give them a 2x4 wide end up for winter so their feet can tuck into their feathers. The issue may be the run area. I'm...

    Thoughts on this design

    Considerations: how many chickens, what is your predator situation? Look up designs specifically for chicken tractors if that is what you want. Anything not designed from the beginning to be mobile is going to be a beast to move. I've got an omlet eglu cube which I absolutely loved when I didn't...

    Omlet Eglu Coop - How to Keep it Warm in Winter??

    I'm also wondering if your coop is sitting on the ground. Other thought/question is does the cover block the vents? That would hold in condensation and be trouble. I have a cube and my friend has the go. We both have the tractor kit with the supports and the wheels. Our chickens are fine down...

    Plymoth rock crossing

    I've had chickens for 2 years. I recently moved my girls 9 hours from Montana to Wyoming. Picture 1 human, 4 chickens, 2 rabbits, and 2 cats all in the front of a uhaul. We were all glad to be done with the drive! I have 5 chickens. My original 4 are 4H dropouts. I just rescued another chicken...

    Anyone had any luck moving omlet coop and run to a new home?

    I just moved mine this summer, 9 hours away. I rented the largest size u haul and was able to get all my stuff and the coop with the run partially disassembled. Before we packed the truck I marked off the space for the coop with painter's tape. You'll have to look at how the run is assembled. I...
