Verified Reviews for Eglu Chicken Coop Runs

Look on forums for reviews, my experience with the omlet is common.The coop itself is easy to clean - the run is NOT predator proof and WE LOST A CHICKEN. The openings are more than 1/4 in big, so a grounded HAWK managed to reach in and ATTACK AND KILL and PULL A CHICKEN towards it and EAT HER through the wide openings of the grate. We had to reinforce the entire run portion with hardware cloth, as the hawks returned for more.. AWFUL EXPERIENCE considering how much we spent on the set up with 9ft of run. Although a set up from tractor supply may have been harder to clean, one of my girls would still be with me AND I would have saved a few hundred dollars…our neighbors who are experienced chicken keepers also pointed out how weasels and fisher cats and foxes could easily penetrate the run. We are in the northeast where it gets pretty cold, so we put a wireless thermometer inside to make sure the coop is as insulated as omlet claims. It turns out it’s always the same temp inside as it is outside. DO NOT RECOMMEND. This has been a costly experience emotionally and financially- We are looking into alternatives now and encourage Eglu to add a bigger disclaimer about how their runs are absolutely not predator proof and if you have one already please reinforce with 1/4” hardware cloth for your birds

I used these with my 9x9 walk in run. They are solid, sturdy and easy to use. I have heavy clay soil that was very dry when I added these, and they went right in without having to use any tools (and I'm not that strong). I'm not 100% sure they'd be enough to hold down a tarped walk-in-run in strong winds, but they certainly help.

We set up the coop and run two weeks ago. Everyone is enjoying it: the chickens, the dogs, the sunshine! Still easy to move about the yard with the extension. Bobcat has visited and left dinnerless!

Our ground is quite uneven, these screws are excellent for keeping the run firmly in place and (don't want to tempt fate) fox proof.

The run was easy to install and it seems sturdy enough; however the run is not rat and mice proof. The gaps between the bars is big enough for rats to go through. So if you have problems with rodents in your area, I don't recommend you to buy this run.

This coop has been the answer to my dreams - all the descriptions are accurate. As the weather here in the East of England cools, I noticed some condensation on the interior roof, so made a ritual of taking some kitchen towel to use during my cleaning routine in the mornings. I then put the extreme weather blanket on in anticipation of colder weather - and - hey presto - no condensation. We have had frosty mornings, no snow yet, but still no condensation - wonderful

Everything fits together perfectly and gives some additional space for our chicks. Initially we just put the cube inside a 3mtr run but the chooks started sleeping on top of it and pooping all over it. It's much tidier now its out of the run and obviously easier to access the egg port.

I highly recommend these screw pegs to secure my new Zippi run. It’s great that they come with an attachment to be able to drill them into the ground to ensure they’re extra secure.

I have had for a few weeks now. I got the coop and no run as I put it in my large run. I got because my prefab wood one I bought in the spring was already falling apart and leaky. I was worried about winter. No longer worried as the coop has been noticeably warmer during cold mornings. My hens took right to it and is so much easier to clean. I put together myself. Will upgrade as I grow my flock.

I found this relatively easy to install which is unusual for me as I’m not a natural at these things. It looks smart and and has enhanced my hen’s environment.
