I raise baby chicks from hatcheries at my house and then transport them to my father's place. He has the good coop and space for them to run. Problem is, plague happened this year and we're stuck in a residential zone. I can let them run in the yard if I'm watching but that's not always possible.This run is as advertised. It's like a pop-up tent, goes wherever I need it to go. Has stakes to keep it in place. Zip-up holes to let the chickens in and out. I have a dog house on stone blocks to raise it to the height of the holes so the chickens have access to shelter when they're in this run. They have to jump a bit. If I had silkies like I did last year, I'd probably have had to build a ramp since there are no ground-level entrances. Regular chickens don't mind a little jump. It's easy to move to cooler areas during the heat of the day. They haven't escaped yet and it's been a few months since.I would not suggest using this in places with determined predators. The material is about the same as a pop-up tent. Still, this thing works great in a residential zone with few predators.After the chickens move, I have an extra run in case of an emergency. Quick to set up. Easily moved. Cheap. Folds incredibly small when not in use. If this thing breaks, I will definitely buy a replacement.

My babies LOVE it!! I needed something small for my Red and Bantam chicks to be able to be in the grass for small amounts of time. This is perfect!! Its super easy to set up, unfold and to fold up when ready. It provides a secure place for my chicks to enjoy grass, bugs, natural sunlight and fresh air and spread their wings a little. I think this is a fantastic idea at a very affordable price!! My babies are happy, totally worth every penny!!!

Worked great for isolating our new hen when we were trying to introduce her to our established flock. It did take 6 weeks but they have finally accepted that she is here to stay so we are now able to remove the isolation pen and let her run with the flock.Also used it to let the hens graze in the uncovered grass yard. (We have hawks so they mostly stay in their covered run). I’m keeping it and will use it for this purpose in the future.I just tried to fold it back up today and for the life of me can’t do it. It’s flat so still easy to store just wish I could get it back to teeny tiny like when it first came.Overall very satisfied and it did its job. It was outside in the element for 6 weeks and other than being dirty and a couple snags from beaks it’s still pretty much like new.

I was skeptical and thought it looked like an oversize pop-up laundry hamper. I almost sent it back, but really needed somewhere to put my baby chicks outdoors once they were a old enough to be out a bit. They like it and it’s held up very well--which has surprised me. All the zipper openings make it easy to get in there (I’m smallish) and catch them and it’s very easy to move it around to different spots of grass. I’ve attache it to their wire mesh run now that they are pullets, so they have even more room. I just unzipped one of the panels on the side and tied it onto the other pen. I put a log and they hop right up on that and jump right into this playpen. Very cute!

This is a great temporary cage. It folds up nicely too. I take my chickens with me when I go to the farm. I place the chickens in this cage at night in the house I am building. It keeps them where they need to be and is enough room for four adult hens. If I leave the door unzipped, one or two tend to want to jump out. However, it does the job of keeping them from roaming around. It is thin material and would not protect against any predators. However, it is not advertised as such. For some reason, I thought it had a bottom. It does not. That is my misunderstanding. It does what I intended it to do.
