Unsecure chicken perches

[kissinuk]

Am I the only person to think the cost of the Omlet WIR at £585 (£600 inc postage) is, to say the least, ??

 

I don't understand why the version to join to a classic run is £40 more expensive than the fully enclosed one. For what it is surely there is a way to reduce the costs, I would be willing to pay £350 tops for this, such a shame it is almost double that.

 

It looks like a great product and I imagine would stand up to the weather better than the wood on a standard WIR, but even so, far far too expensive considering it's dimensions. Sorry for the moan, but just interested if I was alone with this.

Yep. It does seem expensive. Especially as I'd need to cover the top as well so that the chickens wouldn't get soaked from the rain.

But not having one myself... they could be worth it, who knows?

I know it is a lot of money but really when you put together you see why - it is such good quality and will last forever (much like the Eglu of course) and therefore you will never to buy another one. I guess that's why it's expensive - good products usually are unfortunately. I am more than pleased with mine.

I agree - it seems very expensive, but the convenience of it is very tempting. I could save money by getting a wooden WIR, but I would need to pay someone to do it and I have no idea where to start looking for a builder who understands what's needed in terms of fox-proofing, and who would do a good job. I'm scared I'll pay a fortune for something sub-standard.
