Basically very pleased with this. Daily use very straight forward, easy to clean apart from the front door step which cannot be reached unless you dismantle the house and run or crawl inside! Building the house and run was challenging and it didn't always go together easily some brute force required and in one place some string! Am considering extending the run by a metre to allow my two more room and need to check if it's possible to reposition the door into the run as this could help with cleaning. Also need to check out the larger clear plastic cover for the approaching winter and wondering if it will be strong enough to survive the Orkney wind!

Once you get used to the order of bringing the wheels up to move, it is a joy to have the ability to move the Eglu around with ease.

Great item - just what was needed after a series of fox attacks on our free range hens. We needed to keep the girls in a little bit more and this was the perfect answer to add to the end of our very long cube run. It was fairly quick and easy to put up. We laid out the run on the ground in the correct shape. Once that was done it was quickly assembled. Took a couple of hours. Easy to attach to the cube run and the girls are now safe and sound when I am not around to keep an eye on them. Blends very well into the garden. Nice and sturdy. Pricey but worth it I think. Will extend it further when finances can stretch to it! Luxury for precious hens!

Very pleased with the purchase. Beautifully detailed design which works on all counts. Chickens very happy. One large hen still clucks a lot when jumping off the bottom step in the morning - but she has learned to get on and off the ladder. Well worth the expence.

To sum up an Eglu in one word EASY! Easy to put together. Easy to manoeuvre. Easy to clean. It looks good and is spacious. On the down side PLEASE, PLEASE redesign the stairs. We have attached a wooden set as our 8 week old chicks couldn't use them. The gaps are too wide and the distance to the ground too great.

Struggled to put this together at first as the instructions were in another box! But once up it was perfect. Chickens love it and are happy!

This replacement cover is fantastic quality and 10x better than the orignal.The one which came with my classic lasted 5 years,but this one i recon will last double that.Its cheap too in my opinion.

Quite easy to assemble once you get the hang of it and figure out the clips. Blends in well with the rest of the garden. Easy to make small adaptations to so it fits in with the area available - we fitted some of the skirt partly under the sides so it would fit better next to an existing fence. Found a standard tarpaulin from Wickes that provided a cheap solution to covering a good section of the run, easily attached with zip ties. Also used the green coated chicken wire from Wickes to provide an extra barrier around the bottom section and attached it with spare clips that were left over. We fitted a board edge around the skirt, screwed through into the deck below that has kept the base well secured down.

Fantastic. It is worth the money for peace of mind alone. It blends into the garden well, the chickens are happy, life is easier, chickens are safe - what more could you want?

Bigger run for our four ducks ,instructions could be more detailed as we put a panel on the wrong way round ,thankfully discovered error before we got too far. So much more room as the Eglu Classic attached nicely to the outside with the conversion kit. Although quite expensive is very secure,very happy with purchase
