We've had chickens for about five years now, and the ladies always seemed happy enough in their wooden house. However, once it started to fall apart, the search for a replacement brought me to omlet. I liked the idea of the up being off the ground, and it does make reaching in and getting the eggs easy, and also does look as though it would have a good chance of withstanding a fox attack if the doors were shut at night. Really impressed by the quality of construction - looks pretty snug for the chickens at night - no wind whistling through wooden boards. Not a huge amount of room for 4 chickens though, and the shallow droppings tray means it needs cleaning more frequently than my old house. Why four stars and not five? It's actually slightly harder to clean than my previous house. I put paper over the droppings tray and laying area, which means those are a doddle - remove the paper, give the plastic a wipe down and you're done. The bars are more tricky, and I find the poo often sticks to them, meaning a stiff brush and vigorous rubbing are required before I can wipe down with a cloth and spray. Not a major headache, but not as easy as I'd expected. Overall, high quality chicken house, and as long as it lasts a good ten years or so, will pay back better than a couple of good quality wood alternatives.

The products I bought are great, do exactly what you advertise them too do. Very satisfied and would recommend your product to others without question.

The 2 m. clear cover with the gutter is okay. I have used it to put along the side which is doing a good job. I have bought a very large clear cover to put over the whole walk-in run which is recommended for market stalls. I think the 2 metre cover is fairly useless to put on the top of the walk-in run as the rain still blows in the side. Just a note - I think the walk in run is too high. As long as it is sufficient to just about stand up in it I don't think the extra height is necessary.

Super Christmas present for the girls.

What an amazing idea. We have got very happy chickens, all trying to get on the swing at once, I will send photo's as soon as poss.

after owning a traditional wooden coop I have found the Eglu to be fantastic! there is no "wood swelling" to contend with which means no struggling with swollen doors. it is so easy to clean and access. the build quality is great with really substantial components. my chickens are very happy with their new home as am I! I would never hesitate with an Eglu!

The product is brilliant especially in the what seems to be new "hurricane" season we're experiencing, the girls are very happy to have somewhere to shelter from the winds! The reason I gave it 4 stars was I cant find wind break for the go up, so there's an idea for you

I recently purchased a cat run & with it a roof cover & side covers. I would highly recommend if your purchasing a cat run you buy this. High quality & well designed.

One improvement which could be incorporated is a triangular piece of plastic moulding easily attached to the coop floor to contain the shavings/straw within the egg laying area. Also it might contain a superficial bubble which could be used initially to stop the hens sitting on the nest box overnight. Then removed once they have learnt to roost on the roosting area.

Don't know why we didn't buy one of these years ago. A good price and it just gives our three hens a little more rain/sun protection
