Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Up - Chicken Coop for 3 Large Hens

I moved from a traditional wooden coop to eglu coop last month. I had problems with the wheel arms fitting properly and can only say Omlet went out of their way to resolve. They sent a variety of parts to solve the issue, all free of charge then arranged free collection of parts again. I haven’t totally resolved the issue but if I take out wheel bearings arms line up fine so I’m going for that solution. Having taken whole run apart and rebuilt 4 times trying to solve the problems I can say these runs are brilliantly designed, no part can be attached in the wrong way and they do come apart if you need to with no problems. I love the mobility of the run. Because it’s winter and wet I am moving my run weekly to prevent too much lawn damage. It’s so easy to clean lower tray, I just line with newspaper and use dog poo bag to pick up hen droppings. I have 3 medium to large hens and it’s just the right size. My hens used to lay all over garden and stables but now out of their own choice they all lay in coop. I’ve played about with best bedding a bit and now have a mixture of a little hay and straw in the nest area, it seems to bed in well and stay put, wood shavings and chips just seemed to blow and scatter everywhere. I would have loved to stretch to the bigger coop but for my household 3 eggs a day are more than enough. I would have liked the option of fitting electric door on the coop but not an option on the go up I see. I never closed coop door on my wooden run just the run door and wondered if hens would adapt which they have done fine. I hope the eglu will give me many years service.

I bought one coop. Don't know who likes it best, me or the chickens. Bought 3 more coops and moved all my chickens from plywood and chicken wire coops to their Eglu coops. They all think they have died and gone to heaven. Coops are secure from predators, rain, cold, heat, wind; so easy to keep clean!

Easy to clean, easy to move, totally dry and draught proof. It takes a little time to construct but I was doing it on my own. The instructions were good. My girls love it.

This arrived quickly and the pull out, very lightweight poop tray at knee height is a lot easier than reaching down. I got it as I’m pregnant and can’t bend very far to clean them out anymore so needed something off the ground. It takes about 1/3 of the time to clean compared with my old wooden house on the floor with a pull out tray. Plus no mites and very easy to hose down if required. My only issue is that my silkies can’t navigate going up the ladder despite training with corn stuck to the ladder steps with honey and me placing them on there, so I’ve had to put a wooden ramp up to the door.

My hens are very happy in the eglu go up. They soon learned to use the ladder however l think the litter tray could be a little deeper. Nice and easy to clean and very sturdy. Such a shame you dont make an electric door to fit this model.

We had three chickens when we first got this Eglu, sadly one has passed. It fit two barred rocks and a RI Red well enough. It is very easy to clean and collect eggs. It took a few days for the girls to get used to the ladder. I think maybe a ramp would be better. With the Go Up connected to the run, it is hard to clean under the coop, however.

Absolutely overjoyed with our eglu, once again Omlet delivered in so many ways. The design of the product is amazing, it was easy to assemble and best of all it was delivered quickly and efficiently which is no small order when you live in Jersey. Ps my bantams loved it so much we got our first egg

Easy to put together and is super clean and simple to use.

I purposed the Eglu Go Up with wheels and 2m run a month ago after having a wooden coop, there isn’t even any comparison, the Eglu is and excellent product, looks good, fairly easy to set up once you get going, easy to clean and the chicks love it! At the minute we have 2 silkies in there but could easily fit a few more! I would never use anything but an omlet coop now! No problems with any predators either. Very sturdy and I love the skirt!

Great little hen coop easy to keep clean and the girls love it
