Who use the omlet coop and how many chickens you have in it?

[Utmost]

I have the omlet coop and 10 chickens for 2 years so far it’s been predator proof I’m in Virginia , so a big mix of predators so far a good investment.

I have the Eglu coop with the 9 ft run. I am receiving delivery of the walk in add on tomorrow. I have 3 Silkie mix pullets.

I believe the openings in the run are big enough for a raccoon to get it’s paws in there and pull a chicken towards it and kill it. If you haven’t seen what raccoons do they actually start to eat the bird while it’s still alive through any fence they can get their paws through.
Minimum the bottom 2 to 3 feet should be reinforced with some hardware cloth.

Read this thread from some other members experience with these types of coops and runs. Also has some suggestions on how to reinforce it.

My chickens free range and go in before the auto door closes my dogs go in and out they also have a doggy door if racoons come it would be at night when the chickens are safe in the coop
