Just straight up great product. No regrets regarding this purchasing. I would heartily recommend the Eglu to every one I know who is raising chickens.

This was an investment that was well worth it! Very high quality. Easy to clean. Water and feed stay fresh. Raccoons can’t get in. Chickens are clucking cheerily and I’m doing a happy dance. Delighted with my purchase.

I love the simplicity of the eglu chicken coop. It's really easy to clean and the chickens love it.

The cat run is exactly as described and easy to set up. I set it up mostly on my own, but some sections, like the roof, will need help from another set of arms. I watched the YouTube video which was easier to follow and rewind than the manual. My only comment is that it was difficult to see which clips to place where just looking at the manual diagrams. A video was essential. One of my cats is very reluctant to stay inside the cat run at the moment, but that is a different story : ) I think placing it closer to the house and leaving the top door open so they can go in and out might be easier for my cats.

I have three happy chickens that have welcomed their new house. I find the ease of cleaning a big plus and all aspects of use very well planned.

I have the 6 ft run with tractor wheels. I’ve had the eglu set up and in use for about a month. I have 3 full size Hens: 1 buff Orpington and 2 black sex links. I have 2 chicks which will be joining them soon. 5-6 full size hens is the max I would want in there. The dropping tray works well. The build is solid. It’s water tight and sturdy. The tractor wheels work well! My eggs are clean and poop free thanks to the sliding door to the nest box. I close it at night and open it in the morning. With only a single nat box I thought there might be some fights among the ladies but all seems calm. It’s kind of a pain to put together. Connecting the run correctly is not super easy. The thing took about 5 hours to put together and we didn’t get the run quite right so it’s a little wonky but still works. It Keeps out the raccoons which visit my hens nightly- they somehow get through my electric fence. I wish there was more ventilation. The waterer and feeder that come with the eglu are cute but not very good. I use a different feeder which is easier for my chx to access, same with waterer. At 1k it’s more expensive than the super cheap wood wood ones and not as expensive as larger custom/ quality houses. I wish the hen house was larger and wish the run was easier to put together.

I bought the Eglu cube with 6ft run. I am very impressed with the quality and ease of set up. I have 4 good size hens so I added the 3ft run extension. The ladies love it and i am looking forward to years of enjoyment and a safe home for our flock.

We’ve had the autodoor 4 weeks and it’s worked brilliantly from day 1. Makes it so easy and stops the need/worry of getting up early or getting out just after they’ve gone to bed to shut the door. Wasn’t easy to guess what luminescence level to set but was guided by what the manual had set and it’s fairly quick to adjust if needed. Only had one occasion they were ‘locked out’ but that was after I’d sprinkled some strong smelling redmite powder in their bedding and I think they didn’t like/were unsure of the smell. But it was simple to manually open it, even in the dark and they quickly went in.

Really pleased with this after 4 weeks. I was a little reluctant to spend so much money when there are so many cheap wooden chicken coops about, but I’m so glad I did. I’m new to keeping chickens and this is so quick and easy to clean (I keep cleaning it every few days as it’s all new and so quick to do, even though it doesn’t really need it). Our four 8 week old chicks needed no help knowing what to do at night from the first day we put them in. Straight up the ladder at dusk and the autodoor worked at treat. I bought the extra ladder grips due to older bad reviews about the stick on ones, but I needn’t have bothered as it comes with the good ladder grips now anyway.

Well designed, well made, instruction book clear and on line video of construction helped too.
