Yikes! I'll keep an eye out if I see aggressive ant behavior. I've been using borax baits too and have found it difficult to keep up with the ants. Chickens were just going to be part of a general IPM. I know I shouldn't expect them to solve all my pest problems. I mostly want hens as enrichment...

I have seen people replace the vent covers with HWC to increase ventilation, which I will do if I find it's not enough. I have wondered if the Omlet products are to chicken owners as the FlowHive is to beekeepers.

I am getting the Eglu Cube model which they say can fit 10 hens, but reviews say probably no more than 8 depending on the breed so I am also considering the hen size when selecting breeds. I'm not planning to get 6 orpingtons.

Between me and my husband, we are often doing things outside around our property. I plan to use Eglu as a tractor during those times to help clear space for a new garden bed, help manage the huge ant and tick infestation around our property, and to give them new areas to forage. I like the idea...

Eh. I'm pretty set on it. To have someone build me a coop/run would have cost me a lot more and would still probably require some more predator proofing. The Omlet Eglu being easy to clean and used as a chicken tractor was really appealing to me. From what I've seen online, it seems being...

I just edited my post. I forgot to mention that I also want to be able to use the omlet coop/run as tractor. I just found that omlet sells a little door kit to add onto the run. I'll just have to make the same size hole in my run and as you said, fill in gaps with HWC.

I just ordered an omlet cube and 6ft run for 6 hens. Any ideas on how to rig the omlet run to a larger walk-in run? I was thinking of just getting a covered dog kennel to use as a walk-in run and adding HWC for reinforcement against predators. I think it would be cheaper than getting the walk-in...
