Omlet low rise run

[Homeschool hatcher]

Does anyone have a Omlet low rise run? I’ve ordered a 11ft in length run, wanted to know if anyone had trouble getting in and out. I’m 5ft

How tall is it? You really really will want a walk-in run, and also coop, if possible. And you will sometimes have people who are taller than 5' who need to get in there too. Maybe.

Its 1metre and 15cm high. The chickens will be let out to roam, only I will be cleaning it out as well as my son who’s is small enough to fit

I think that you will learn to hate it!

Oh gosh just so expensive! I can’t afford a lot sadly, do you have it or have had it?

Walk-in is best, hands down! Look at craigslist, for example, for chainlink dog runs, and modify one or two of those. There will be a better option for a run!
There are two things to consider; one, having a very safe place for the birds both day and night, when predators come visit, and when it snows, if you are in snow country.
Two, as large a run as possible, reasonably safe, for the times when all is well.
Making things predator proof will cost more, and really safe is more effort and $$ for sure. The trade-off is about your tolerance for replacing birds who are killed out there, and it can be many all at once. That's awful, and also expensive.

That’s true! Ok let me work something out. Thank you for the eye opener

Imagine having to clean a run that’s only like three and a half feet tall. Nightmare fuel at its finest.

 

[Homeschool hatcher]

Yeh true! Think I needed that push!

Do you have a lot of predators where you are?
