1) the use of separate wheels makes the coop unstable and hard to operate. Wheels need to operated by a single bar.
2) no handles to move the coop makes it very difficult to move at all.
3) wheels are too thin and sink into wet ground.
4) skirt simply does not work as grass rapidly grows between the mesh and makes it impossible to lift coop off the ground. We discarded ours.
5) housing is excellent and is easy to clean. Handle to door is very good and efficient.

Omlet response:
Hi John,
Thank you for your feedback. Here are some extra tips that we hope can be useful:
When moving the coop, we would recommend you to ensure that the wheel arm has been lowered and locked in place. This should allow you to move the structure without difficulty. Depending of the type of ground that you have, it can indeed be useful to purchase the additional handles, placed at the end of the run, especially if the latter is particularly long.
If you find that your grass grows too rapidly, we would recommend to move the coop more often. This will also allow your chickens to enjoy a fresh patch of grass. The main function of the skirt is to provide extra security against predators, so we would recommend to keep the skirt on to protect your chickens from any uninvited guest.
We hope that this information will help, we stay at your disposal for any further information.
Yours,
Omlet Customer Service Team
Easier to move

Loving the handles, makes moving the coop so much easier for one of us alone.

Happy With My Eglu
Sharon,
Eglu has been up and running for several months and very happy with it. Easy to maintain and keep clean. Chickens appear to be comfortable and happy with their home.

Great coop but a bit small considering the price.
Emma,
I love the quality and style of this coop but I feel it defiantly could have been bigger. I have six large hens and it is a tight squeeze for them to ask fit in. I was hoping to increase my flock this year but now have no idea how to do that without buying another cube but I can’t justify the price for another one.

Eglu cube
Matt,
Oxfordshire,
We brought this to go along side our original cube . It’s not as well designed as the original and although the capacity states 8-10 it seems smaller . However it’s easy to clean comes with wheels so easy to move . The cube comes with a feeder and drinker but unless you buy the run as well. You need to buy the stand as extra !!!

Great Coop.
Bucky,

We loved our Eglu coop so much that we have bought another one. We now have two coops attached to opposite ends of a 6 foot run. Our girls are very happy. Easy and fun to assemble. Easy to clean.

Coop Handles
Sherryl,
My coop was a little hard to move because I am on a steep hill and have a 3 metre run. The handles are mounted on the front of the coop and have made a big difference to the effort I need to put in to move it. Very happy with the, the only slight downside is that they tend to narrow the doorway a little.

Eglu Coupe
Sam,
NSW,
Loving our new coop with the automatic door. As dawn gets earlier (and we have no where to go in Lockdown) the girls no longer have to wait for me to get up and let them out in the mornings. We upgraded from a smaller Eglu and couldn’t be happier. The roosting area gives them plenty of room and is even easier to clean then our older coop. So pleased with our purchase!

Sturdy and hygienic
Jacqueline,
I bought the eglu as I was struggling to keep my existing house clear of red spider mite. The hens are so much happier and seem clear of mite. The cleaning is so much easier and can be a lot more thorough. I am very pleased and have ordered another 'low rise' eglu for two elderly fat hens that struggle getting down the steps in the morning
