Verified Reviews for Eglu Chicken Coop Runs

Perfect for us and the "girls"

I noticed these new Green screw pegs advertised at the same time the older Red and Blue ones were shown so I decided to go for the new ones especially as the colour marches my Green Cube. They do the job well, they are slightly bendy but its easy enough to screw them into the ground by hand. I have a 1m extension on the Cube and theres still plenty of pegs to go around the base. I found the advertising picture weird as the guy appears to be pushing the drill attachment through a vertical panel when in fact its meaning a panel on the ground but no matter Im pleased and would recommend. A little pricey but I think they're very good quality plastic and could be used time and time again without them breaking? Sorry to state the obvious but obviously the pegs will slip through the metal mesh unless you turn the handle top at right angles to the mesh.

Very easy to add and gives' the girls' more room

The clips were difficult to use and the whole thing a bit fiddley but once done it looked good and works well.

Seems expensive at first, but this run extension makes a big difference to the space available and means that Layla & Roxanne can spend the winter in comfort, with a winter shade to keep the rain and snow off and Hemcore underfoot to keep the run mud-free.

Integral item for the cube and useful replacement. The only downside is when it is dark it is very difficult to see the dang things as they are the same colour as the wire on the cube - I have put reflective tape and tried reflective paint but often resort to a twig. I have also thought of compling the two together. But overall good.

An intrinsic problem with the run supplied with the Go is the difficulty of reaching the other end of the run from the one entrance. The chooks seem to have a knack for piling up the chippings in the Eglu doorway so the door jams and it's very difficult to get in to clear it out. We've found this extra panel with door to be an excellent solution. Although it's described as 'End panel with Door' it fits into the sides as well, and having replaced the side panel nearest the Go with this one, we now have access at both ends of the run.

Being a cautious person, I bought spare runs pins as a precaution against misplacing my current ones on a dark winter's night when the rain is lashing down and the westerly wind is blowing at gale force. The really clever thing would be to remember where I have stored them!

Having bought my 3 girls & their Go in early June, they've had a wonderful summer with kids home from uni so lots of supervision for free ranging...With term starting, they will have to be in the run far more and so more space in the run was essential (An aside: It would be lovely if Omlet could make it clear when talking hen capacity that it's the houses, not the runs, that accommodate the number of chooks mentioned in their ads) Unfortunately I ordered mine just in time to be hit by the September price rise, but it arrived promptly, was easy to attach and the girls look very happy with their enhanced accommodation.

I felt that the existing run was not big enough for my thee girls. With the colder weather coming I wanted them to have more shelter. I am really glad I bought it. They love the extra space.
