very easy to install and program. I have it set on manual right now but will use the auto feature when it gets closer to winter and shorter days. When I put the light on, the chicks wastes no time going in for the night!

Very pleased with this product

I can’t say enough great things about this coop! I started out with a pre made wood coop that didn’t even last a year. This coop was the answer to all my problems! It is incredibly easy to clean and my girls love the nesting box! My egg production has actually gone up since they moved into this coop. I am in love with this coop and I will NEVER get anything different. GO OMLET!!!!!

Great for the price. I have been using for several weeks now, through rain and storm, with no rain or moisture getting on the food inside and there is minimal mess. One draw back... If you have a rooster with a very large comb it is tricky for them to get their head inside to eat. One of my roosters, Bash, learned to turn his head to the side in order to get it inside to eat.

This is the third coop that I have bought. All were highly rated and comparable in cost, but the Omlet is by far the best. It’s easy to assemble and clean, well designed and of a good quality. The feeder and water bowl are simple but of a good practical design. The only drawbacks is that plastic coop floor and the metal ladder are a little slippery for the chickens, and the coop lets in very little light. Good if you’re trying to keep the crowing down (if you’ve got a gent) but tough when you’re trying to coax the hens in at night. However, you can easily remedy tHis by putting a small battery operated pick light and using self adhesive grit tape on the stairs.

I have had two of these for the last 8 years and they are still going strong. I decided to expand my flock of ex bats, so decided to invest in another Eglu Go. It was easy to put together although I did manage to screw the brackets on from the wrong side and then wonderer why they kept falling out! Of course clever clogs husband came to the rescue and pointed out my mistake. It is just as sturdy and smart looking as the other two and I am very happy with it - and so are the hens. They are easy to clean out each day and it only takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to do all three including poop scooping, wiping with diluted disinfectant and refreshing bedding.

Let's be honest this is nothing short than brilliant, my girls love it and settled into it straight away. So easy to clean, take the roosting bar & drop tray out to hose them off, clean and dry and put back into place in a matter of minutes. 4 Australorp X Hens are sufficent for a Coop & 3 metre run, with some free ranging throughout the day (weather permitting). I have ordered the auto door for summer as we are often away for a night or two, will give me peace of mind when having neighbours looking out for them. Downside is it took 2 adults (with competent IKEA assembling skills) 5 + hours (10-12hrs for 1 person to do it alone would be sufficent and reasonable time to allow for construction) to put together the coop and 3 metre run. The pain of that 5 hours is soon forgotten when you can easily move it (using the wheels), cleaning out the run is a bit difficult as I'm over 6ft tall but frequently moved around our backyard so not to much of a problem, just worth the mention if you'd plan on having the run and cube coop stationary and dont have kids to bribe to muck out for you or are planning on using a deep litter style approach and without the assistance of the wheels to make it easy to move off the litter when doing your full clean out.

It is a very very good product and quite unique on the market. We used it to connect a small henhouse and a connected run to a supposedly large rabbit hutch as we felt no hutch available was actually enough space for a rabbit to be locked up in overnight. Our bunnie loves it. When we open all the doors to let her free she runs the whole length of the the 2 hutches in one end, through the tunnel and out the other very fast and binkies. She also goes in it and rests, she probably finds it cosy as it’s like a proper warren. I do feel it was expensive for what it was though and could benefit from a door at both ends so we could remove it and put one hutch in the shed over winter and still have a secure outdoor hutch outside in the day in winter (ie without a tunnel or hole that goes nowhere) of course we could buy another door kit but the products are very expensive. As once you’ve fitted it that’s it, the hole you cut is there forever.

My first foray into chicken keeping, I was bedazzled by the array of hen houses available to me. I loved the traditional appearance of the wooden coops and it was a chance conversation with a relative who that made me decide on Omlet. A little space age in appearance, so soon got used to it and it blends in well. But that all cosmetic! The benefits: Easy to set up Very secure, with each component fitting perfectly Easy to keep clean Easy to move Designed to minimise the risk of parasite infestation I’m delighted with the coop and the hens love it too! They put themselves to bed as the sun goes down and all I need to do is shut the door! It’s carefully engineered to be safe, comfortable, both warm and cool, hygienic and easy to maintain. A very well made product.

A must have for moving your Omlet coop & run about and easy enough for me to handle on my own. Our hens love the access to fresh grass and we appreciate that our lawn doesn't get destroyed!
