I have the Freilaufgehege combined with the Small Animal House Trixie, ie outside the cottage placed on a front side in front of it, so that can go a chicken hen and her chicks 3 safely in the house purely or purely in the enclosure. And of course, vice versa. To prevent the chicks to go to it on tour, I have covered the entire enclosure with chicken wire. Thus, this year my Chicken not be eaten up by "cats"! The enclosure fulfills completely the schedule I effect. The only question is how much clucking Chicken + the enclosure + Small Animal House "tolerated". To avoid overcrowding, then you should buy another combination. I recommend the enclosure further definitely!
