To start with I wanted a taste of the country, so I decided I wanted to own chickens, i remembered my friend who had chickens and said he had a omlet classic, this was around 4-5 years back and I remembered him saying it was 100% fox proof. So I decided to have a look on the websites and after carful thought I choose this one. I saw wooden coops for half the price but then you have to buy the treatmeants and maintain it each 6months it was a lot of hard work. And the omlet eglu go is .... just simple. I built it my self, took me around 2 hours to do with the 2m run. I love it and so do my 4 chickens thank you!!!! Maybe in my next house... I will get the bee hive

This is a brilliant product in every respect except for the ladder. My chickens have been used to a slatted wooden one and they find the thin narrow steps uncomfortable. Chickens like to curl their feet around a more tubular shape and the edges hurt their feet. My husband has made a slatted wooden one which is less steep and they now go in and out quite happily but it has to be tied to the metal ladder or it slips off. Apart from that we are vey happy with it. I am disabled and it's so easy for me to clean out which makes my husband very happy as he had refused to let me help him with the old wooden one since I accidentally knocked the lid down on his head.

Over the moon with cube. Hens had trouble with ladder at first as they were only pullets. After trial and error for a fortnight with a ramp they are now using ladder. Easy to clean. Plenty of room for my 7 ladies. Great ventilation.

Installed two swings, but so far, none of the chooks had a go, even they usually jump on everything a bit elevated. Wondering, how to entice them to get up, maybe have to try some food. Otherwise a great idea. Also using a food ball and they love rolling it around to get the food coming out. Also use to put a butchers hook through the stalk of a cabbage head and then hang it up on some bungee straps about 20 cm from the ground. The chooks and ducks have a ball catching the swinging head and get a bite out of it. All gone within an hour or two.

Good size worked perfect

Good product, well made & thought out. Height a little limiting, width good, nesting area could use a contoured bottom. Very good product overall!

I've been wanting hens for years, however didn't want a stationary, wooden coop requiring extensive fencing reinforcements for my space available to allow "free ranging". I am so happy with the Eglu! The girls are secure inside the run fencing with skirt. The coop clean up is easy and very sanitary. My neighbor is enjoying the poop I scoop from the coop for her vegetable garden! I love the coop construction with the back door access to slide out the trays, easy open front​ door, and "Dutch door" to the run. I have a large fenced backyard and would love to let the girls wander about, but our many mountain predators are known to stalk and kill. Because the entire Eglu set up is on wheels and portable, I can move everything every few days to a new, fresh and exciting location knowing my girls are protected. This product is truly the answer to all my concerns about having hens.

Easy to put together but do allow a couple of hours. The instructions were great. My girls are now very safe!

I've had the Eglu Go up for a couple of months now, housing 3 white Sussex and a Dutch Bantam. Plenty of room in the coop, adequate in the run. I started letting them free range after 2 weeks and they are much happier wandering around at will. The coop had to be moved every 4 days as they damaged the lawn so quickly during their initial confinement. Assembly was a bit of a trial. Luckily I had help from family who had already bought 2 Eglus. I would never have managed otherwise. The instructions were somewhat of a puzzle, as we were reading from 2 different booklets! (That were supplied in the boxes). The run is fiddly to put together, requires real concentration and the clip placements drove me to a glass of wine! Love that the Eglu looks good iin the garden, green colour blends in and does not offend the neighbours. Easy to clean, no bending down. Feel comforted that the hens are less likely to contract disease and mites than if they were housed in wood. Sturdy and solid, waterproof, predator proof. Very pleased with my purchase. (Did not buy the wheels - could not afford another £50!) Fairly easy to drag to a new spot, even with the run attached.

I'm very happy with my Eglu Go chicken coop and 2m run. It was quite easy to assemble although I'm in my 60's - struggled a little to attach coop to hutch - the quality is excellent and the product looks good in the garden. The added free extras - bowls and shade cover - are a nice touch. Would have liked an easy way to detach run from hutch for extra cleaning and for moving chicks into shed on cold nights - maybe an idea for future product development...? Also purchased the plastic all weather cover which is robust and does the job well. I would 100% recommend this product.
