Have never seen the like!
We have a large coop with attached run that houses 12 chickens but some sleep in the run on perches (the run is 8x8x8). The other coop houses 8 with 8x8x4’H run. One of the coops has an automatic door that works good but has been a pain to get working good and expensive!
I know this is an older post, but I created an Omlet tunnel (so to speak) just by connecting the panels of one of the playpens into cubes, which I then connected to my sand run and other Omlet covered pen. The panels and clips are great because you can configure them however you want.We have an auto door on one and while it works it’s a pain and

We want the chicks, we have like 45 (long story) that roost a variety of places, but we would like to them use the two coops & runs if they want to, and be safe.
Some chickens prefer the trees, but all of the chickens are also secured in a 1.5 acre field with 4’ mesh, no climb fence with a llama and alpaca inside to assist with guarding them.
There are also mini Donkey’s and horses in adjoining pen that help protect them. As well as a motion detecting camera that alerts us at night.
We just thought they would like the option of using both coops & runs safely at night. Also would be nice if they would nest in the boxes instead of where ever they want, so we can collect the eggs.
We can move the coops closer but want to keep them both in the shade (they are covered too) and keep the sensor to the door in the same place now that it works correctly.
Long story, I know. Thanks for your interest!
Thank you! Do the chickens like it and use it?
They do! They move through it easily...a lot of times they stop and eat grass in it.
