Welciome to the forum Doreen. Your run sounds like an absolute bargain! If I didn't already have enough, I'd be snapping it up. It would be helpful if you added the size (eg 2 panels x 2panels, or 2 panels x 3 panels), although it's a bargain at any size. Also, you may get more interest in "Omlet Products for Sale" section (it's currently in the "Wanted" section).

I’ve recently bought a pre loved walk in run which had an extension added. I’m very confused as I have different panels for the extension than what it says I should have in instructions. Is it possible to configure it differently ? The WIR has large panels and the extension has smaller ones you add together. I seem to be missing two roof panels and one panel with small holes for the bottom but have 3 extra large hole panels that go up the top. Bizarre. If I don’t use the extra panels it will be only be 6ft x 6ft which would be a shame.

Hi we have the smart chicken feeder connected via WiFi but the time has not updated daylight savings over night how do we change that? Can’t see any mention of it in the app or online?

Walk in chicken run for sale, dismantled and ready to collect. i have had this for some years but it is still functional and secure. Buyer collect only and this is a large item so will require a van or pickup. Canterbury area. £50

Hi all I am looking for a course for back garden chickens in Essex please I saw someone mention Rettendon, which is 5 mins from me, but I cant find details. Or any others not too far from Chelmsford. Thank you :)

Confused by this Jean Louis? Why are the chickens locked outside in the garden and the pigeons in the run. The chickens are supposed to be locked in the run so they don't get eaten by foxes which leaves the pigeons outside. Feeding chickens seeds is not sufficient for their health so why are you doing that? They need layers pellets with feeders in the run. Scatter feeding chickens with grain is a ancient practice that has no place in the modern world. Time to start all over again I think! Keep the chickens in the covered run and feed them properly. When the pigeons can't get to their grain and water they will leave. We have never had a problem like that and I don't know anyone who has.

You can do this by adding an auto door to the partition that separates the nest area from the roosting area. I have done this and it works perfectly. This is not an authorised modification. But it does work. You ideally install the door on the nest side, as there are issues with the roosting bars on the other side. Can’t posts any photos right now as I’m away. You just drill 4 holes in the separator and use the bolts and wing nuts supplied with the auto door.

Hello. I have a pigeon infestation because of the leftover seeds my chickens leave on the ground after eating. I tried a homemade mixture of white vinegar, water, and a few drops of peppermint oil sprayed at the entrance to their enclosure, but it didn't work. Now I've closed off my Eglu's enclosure to keep the pigeons out, but as a result, my chickens are left outside in the garden and can't eat, drink, or lay their eggs in peace when they need to. I don't know what to do, and I'm fed up with seeing 10 or 20 pigeons loitering near the coop all day, waiting! What can I do? I just want what's best for my chickens. Thank you in advance for your help.

We have a large Omlet chicken coop and an Omlet large Eglu Cube with a manual door for sale. We also have an electric automatic coop door, brand new but never fitted. The total cost of this package would be over £2,000 (see pictures) We are asking £1,000 Ovno

Hello we now have one available if you are still interested Thanks We have one available. Based in Andover

I have a mk 1 Cube. The sliding door locking mechanism has now given up the ghost, it would seem, as it won't open the door. I have seen the Eglu website pages on how to fit a new one, but I can't find one having scoured the web for a replacement but have found nothing. The door is locked shut so my hen can't get in to lay during the day and she has to be manually put to bed at night which is both inconvenient and unsustainable. Does anyone know anywhere I might be able to obtain parts?

Comes complete with a gated partition, all fittings, and original assembly instructions. New list price is £739 for the run and £119 for the partition. (total £858). Disassembled so will fit in any car. Available for £350, location Redhill Surrey.

Have someone created a method for automatically opening the door to the nesting department in the morning? It somehow defeats the advantage of having the door to the outside opening by itself in the morning, if I still have to open the inner door myself, if I don't want to find the eggs in odd places. I imagine I close the inner door in the afternoon after collecting the eggs, then some latch engaging on the automatic door when it closes, and getting pushed back when the door opens in the morning.

Bonjour Je viens d en acheter un que j ai mis sur piles et pareil la charge diminue énormément hier quand j ai mis les piles j avais 100 % et ce matin 25%..

As per the instructions, put them in hot water first, they become much more pliable. Or, I’ve also found long nose pliers can also help to close them when in a difficult to access location. You can also use heavy duty cable ties. Not the thin one that they provide, which are for other uses.

Can anyone suggest an alternative to the closing clips for the opening section on the runfencing. The ones provided are very difficult for us oldies with arthritic thumbs! Many thanks

I just buy a eglu cub with electric door and i chage it all the night but it stay at 20%....

Yes still have them 07444101549 Yes, cost was £15 last time. They are still a bargain

Hi Sean Would you be willing to post to Leicester, if so what would total cost be Thanks Emma

He’ll Sarah, yes I do. If you want to contact me directly… 07444101549 sean Yes I do. Contact me on 07444101549. Whatassp is easiest. Sean

Hello, I know this was a year ago that you posted but I don't suppose by any change you still have any of these available? Many Thanks

Do you still have one of these available for collection?

Has anybody cracked this? I have the same setup connected to a 1.5W trickle charger. It seems to keep the battery topped up but not sure how long it will cope with no sun. I could add another panel but not sure if that will fix the issue

Looking for an Eglu Cube (MK2) and Walk In Run - open to buying separate West Midlands area but happy to travel within reason!
