Rolling Chicken Ball Cage, 19.8 in, 1 Pack, Green, Yard Use

Helps to keep my fur baby safe. She is able to run around outside, which she would not be able to do without this ball. I love that she can now get fun exercise. It took her a minute to figure it out, but once she did......she's running everywhere. She's safe from big dogs and hawks. I added extra zipties to one side and I use the ones that came with the ball on the other. The ones that I put are like hinges. I added duct tape over my zipties for extra safety. If your pet is more calm than mine, the extra tape and zipties aren't needed. But my fur baby is wide open and didn't want her hitting anything and it break open. Hubby said this is the best thing we have gotten for her, itallows her freedom to run and be safe at the same time. I love it!!! I'm not stressed with her outside now. :)

Very loose and unstable

This is a great way to get your chickens outside and be entertained. My girls do not free range but i wanted a way to let them out of the coop and be able to safely track them in the yard. The quality was great and simple to put the two halves together.

So I only have 3 chickens. Two of them let me hold them and both listen to me when I say it’s time to get put up and one is very spastic and runs like a roadrunner and she try’s to “fly” over into our neighbors yard. Because she won’t let me pick her up, I have to put her in this to keep her safe. We have many hawks and I don’t want to lose any of my girls due to not listening to me. This allows me to make sure she stays in our yard and when necessary I can go get her and put her in the coop safely. It’s very easy to use and it has never opened (when closed properly). She can’t dig, but she can peck at the ground and she does walk around in it. I can tell she wants to be loose, but the hawks and all our neighbors have dogs, so it’s just not safe for her. The quality is bit of an issue. It has held up, but I’m very careful with it because the plastic does feel as though it will break if mishandled or if handled ruffly. I’ve had it for about 2 years now and it’s held up nicely, but it gets put away in a shed when not in use. It’s kinda expensive (I think it was around $40 for the size I bought), but I would buy again because keeping my spastic girl safe is my responsibility.

I have a flier hen, who is always trying to leave the garden and explore! This was her time-out cage after I caught her in the front yard inching towards the road. I don’t think she likes it very much because she wasn’t able to get out of it, and she wasn’t able to roll into the coop. It’s not made to keep the chicken inside for long periods of time, I had her inside for about 20mins, but I saw her struggling to get a sip of water so I let her out after. It did give me a piece of mind while she was in there so I could be distracted with gardening, but definitely keep an eye on the chicken inside.

This is DEFINITELY not as expected! We have regular chickens and they do not fit in these at all! They are VERY small. I was really looking forward to getting these because hawks are picking our chickens off one at a time. 😔

Item is OK for chickens, not so much for small dogs or cats as we had hoped. Our dog and cat's feet go through the holes so no way, really, for them to go forward. For this to work, the creature needs to rest their feet on the plastic ribs. This might work for chickens best since their toes spread apart and their feet aren't like the ends of broom handles. We're going to give this to someone we know who has chickens.

This doesn’t stay together. At all. I bought a bunch of Velcro ties to hold it together. It is useless on its own without the ties. It’s super hard to get the animal into it, and hard to get them out.

Cats love it
