Verified Reviews for Eglu Chicken Coop Runs

These are very excellent for pinning down the skirt

I started keeping hens about 10 years ago, and as I love working with wood I built a lovely coop for my flock. However, as time went on i began to have issues with redmite, and this has become a constant battle. My wooden coop, although lovely to look at, was actually a haven for mites.... the shiplap timber etc gave them so many places to hide, and of course it was a nightmare to keep clean. I recently decided enough was enough and decided to take the plunge and buy and eglu go up. On arrival, unpacking the plastic parts from the boxes if im honest i wondered if i had done the right thing... however, set up was easy and once it was assembled and the hens were safely tucked up in bed i realized what a great bit of kit it is! I cant believe Ive struggled to keep a wooden coop clean all these years.... the eglu is so easy! Have to say within the space of a few days im totally sold, and only wish Id bought one years ago. The old wooden coop is going on the bonfire!

At first we thought these screws were expensive and unnecessary, but after weeks of arduously pulling up tent stakes to move the coop, I decided to purchase the screw pegs. They are a game changer for us and moving the coop is now super easy with the handy dandy drill attachment they include with the screws! I love these so much that I will also be taking a few camping from now on!

I bought this 2 weeks ago and fitted it within 2 hours. Easier to fit than the Mk1 and very secure. I'm sure it will be just as safe and long lasting. The "stable door " arrangement is a great improvement!

I bought these at the same time as My New Catio and Porch Extension. I just thought that they would be perfect to Anchor everything down securely. They are strong and easy to use and go into the ground well though you may have to unwind them and then wind them down again a couple of times to get them fully engaged. Brilliant product and I will order more for my Gazebo.

The purple is adorable. We purchased for our smaller breeds and it is the sweetest little chicken chateau.

Bought this coop and extended run I have previously owned both a classic eglu and a cube . Good points are it’s fab too move around on its wheels giving my girls fresh ground to dig in ,easy to clean and better for me to be able to get in to feed and water containers .The design is good but have to say prefer the classic eglu moulded shape it’s seems softer not such sharp looking corners better quality of plastic .It’s a-shame that the classic shape couldn’t have been adapted to be raised up on wheels .The nest box in the go up is very shallow girls don’t like it and will lay on the bars where as the classic was round and deeper almost cuddling them as they lay .I have silkies and the ladder has been a nightmare they refused to use it I have spent 2 weeks having to put them to bed and get them out so I have had to widen with a lid off a large storage box and cover in carpet and put that over the ladder they now put them selves to bed and come down whether they will ever get used to it I don’t know .The feeder is ok but the lid is a real fiddle to put on and get off so I have given up and left it off plus silkies have a Pom Pom on their heads and won’t put their heads in to feed .On reflection I should have stayed with the classic eglu but it’s hard to move around so I will stick with the eglu go up for that reason and may be not have silkies again

The run porch gives another layer of protection and security for your chickens, especially if they don't free range and you're worried about one zooming out when you open the door.

I am so glad I got this extension. I have 3 booted bantams who do get lots of time out but still have to spend long hours in the run, especially in bird flu season. I had a 3 metre run, but this extra metre seems to give them extra space they really need.

We bought these to secure the skirt of the chicken run but they make great pegs for tents or awnings too - easy to screw in and remove and very strong and secure.
