I will be moving to a house with a bigger garden soon, and I want to keep some chickens and ducks. I’ve been looking at coops from this brand: Omlet because they look easy to clean. I had rabbits before, and the wooden rabbit houses you can buy were always bad quality and hard to clean well. Any advice you guys can give me?
My family got our first chickens about a year ago and decided to go with an Omlet coop. We figured the quality and time-savings for cleaning were more important than the high cost for us, especially since it was our first flock. I couldn’t be more happy with the decision. Set-up took several hours, but the build quality is outstanding. Cleaning also takes less than ten minutes. And somehow the birds figured out the nesting box and automatic door features with very little help from us.
Now if only I can teach the birds to not poop all over my welcome mat, the world would be a much better place…
Good to hear the quality is good, as they are quite pricey! We have to do a lot of house renovations, so we won’t have time to build something ourselves. Since the quality of the wooden houses I bought previously for my rabbits were so poor (they only lasted about 3 years on average…) I was looking for something that would fare better. How many birds do you keep in your omlet?
Just three, though I would be happy with about five in there. We have the small run.
