Every eglu comes complete with its own private secure garden area. A real innovation in keeping hungry foxes out this run has been specially designed for use with the eglu. The unique tunnel-proof panels have been proven in rigorous testing to be fox and badger resistant. The run means that when you are out and about you can be sure that your chickens are safe. The dark green PPE coating is fused to the metal wires ensuring an extremely durable finish that looks great. The run comes in sections for easy transportation or storage and can be assembled in minutes. The end panel opens for access to the feed and water containers and to let your chickens out.

No Grass? Keep Your Chickens on Bark Chippings.... If you want to keep the eglu in one place in the garden keeping it on bark chippings is a great solution. Cleaning the run is as simple as raking out and replacing the soiled chippings every month or so. Making a chipped area for your eglu doesn’t take long and is quite cheap too.

All weather shade
Like ladies at Ascot during a downpour, chickens don't like getting their plumage wet. Luckily the all weather shade is a perfect gentleman protecting your chickens from wind and rain. What's more in summer this useful device keeps the delicate ladies out of the heat of the midday sun.

The Peanut food and water container
Created for use with the eglu run, the peanut all purpose food or water container has the combination of great design and practicality you expect from Omlet.
It clips neatly onto the run, maximising floor area and moves with the run. The covered design prevents food from being spoiled by the rain as well as minimising wastage. The Peanut holds enough food for 2 chickens for 3 days. When filled with water it holds two pints which is enough for 2 chickens for 2 days.

Omlet Feed
If you are getting an eglu with chickens you will also receive a 25 kg bag of organic layers mash. This is the perfect food for your chickens and if you only feed them on this they will have a balanced nutritious diet. You can of course give them scraps from the kitchen as well. This bag will last 2 chickens approximately 4 weeks.
