Welcome! Best of CLUCK with your chickens.
Ps. That is a coop and run that Gene Roddenberry would be proud of!

Thanks! They're getting settled in and we're I'm having fun watching them

The coop is an Omlet Cube and, cute as it is, if I had it to do over again I'd choose something different. Now that we've started using it, we can see things about the design that are less than optimal. If we end up expanding our flock, we'll have to build something better - what a shame that'd be - lol!

How many birds do you have?

I am not familiar with “omelet” coop, Do you have pictures? My birds live in whatever I throw together for them.

I didn't see the transporter room, or the sick bay in it though? Kinda Star Trek looking. I think it's cool!

I have six hens - all around six months old. I think only two of the six are laying so far, so we're not up to our eyebrows in eggs yet.

With the Omlet (yes, they spelled it wrong) Cube I was looking for something easy to construct and use/keep clean and the reviews on it were stellar. For a person who is on a city lot and needs something that fits in an urban environment, and only wants a couple of chickens, it's probably a good fit, but this is a case where design won out over function in several ways, I think. We've made some changes to it to make it more functional and it will do for now.

Our house is more contemporary, even though it is on an old farmstead, so aesthetically it fits in well. No transporter room, but the sick bay is here
