I'm soooooooooo pleased with my Eglu, its everything I thought it would be and more. I wasn't in range to get the complete set up-chickens and all, but I'm happy because I've rehomed 4 Ex Battery Chickens from Sophie at Wigan. I've only had them 3 weeks but the change in them is awesome to see, and the Eglu is the perfect home for them and just they deserve. Everything has been a new experience for them and have coped better than I thought they might. My friend Susan has got the bug too, she received her Eglu last week. Thanks again.

I purchased the Eglu Go for my 3 Pekin Bantams and they love it. They are dry and cosy when it rains. However in this hot spell we have been having I have found the Eglu to be lovely and cool inside unlike my old wooden house which was like an oven in the summer. As the double wall insulation will be keeping them warmer in the winter this will mean I won't have to erect my polytunnel for them either. I am extremely happy with my Eglu. It is easy to clean out the dropping tray as I line mine with 2 sheets of newspaper which is easily thrown away and replaced daily and the roosting bars get sponged down with hot soapy water once a week and are like new again in no time. I found the instructions very easy to follow on both the house and the run.

Alot better than the last cover I purchased, the lightweight summer cover, that faded and rotted VERY quickly. It would be nice if the heavy duty covers came in colours to match the eglu and that the colour didn't fade.

Every day I clean it out I thank my son for persuading me not to go for a wooden coop! And the chickens seemed happy aswell. We have had to add a log to the bottom of the ladder to help one little silkie up initially. But she has got the hang of it now.

I have managed with my original shade for 3 1/2 years although it was doing its best to disintegrate. I am so please Omlet have brought out a shade that is up to the job of being out in all weathers all year round. Winter will be the real test but I am very impressed with the material so far - much more substantial than the original shade. It comes with enough bungees so that it can be positioned easily. It is a bit rucked up but imagine this is due to the shapre of the run. Overall I would recommend this product!

easy to put together. the run is excellent and very safe. Really pleased with my purchase

Very happy with our Eglu. Its easy to move which was the main reason we went for it and very easy to clean which is a real plus. I was surprised it did not come with some pegs for securing the run from foxes, which is fairly important. Also the door latches could be better designed as once you have opened the run door you are left holder the two pins. We have 4 chickens in our extended run, I would not suggest having anymore than that and certainly not the 10 you suggest in the Eglu specifications.

Good but does tend to condensate a lot and takes a while to clear, not sure how it will stand up to another winter like last one though.

Functunal but streches to easy allowing the steel eyes to fall out is going to need to be renewed every year

After ordering, the flat packs arrived promptly and we set to putting the cube and extension run together. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and after a couple of hours two of us had a completed cube and 2 metre run. A few weeks later we stocked with 5 beautiful hybrids from Newland Poultry (highly recommended) who are thriving and producing plenty of eggs. Overall we are delighted with the Eglu Cube, it is a practical, being easy to maintain and clean, attractive addition to the garden. More importantly the "girls" love it! My only very slight concern is that the hens do not seem to like the roosting bars and prefer to sleep in the nesting box. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what solutions have you employed.
