Verified Reviews for Modern Chicken Coop - Eglu Go

I received my Eglu Go 2 weeks ago and it was downhill since. Spent 2 days trying to get it constructed until I realized it wasn't me. They sent 2 "left" pieces for the front of the run and another piece that was bent. I received the correct pieces about a week later. I didn't get the wheel kit but it's not too difficult to move a few feet to give the girls a new area to forage. The feed and water containers are difficult to get to and I must get on my 66 year old knees to change them out. The cover for the feed dish is hard to snap on, then you can't snap it off, so I had to leave it off then it rained!! I feel the coop and run are too small, also the bedding winds up between the rungs in the coop leaving the nest bare. There is a sun shade included but guess what...sometimes it rains and that sun shade is not nearly big enough to keep them dry.. I covered the run with a clear shower curtain using clothes pins! And why is the sun shade in a dark color? Shouldn't it be a light color to reflect the sun? especially in NC...just saying. I'm getting a different coop next week and this is going back. It's over rated and over priced. The best features are being predator proof and plastic.

This thing was put together by my husband, alone. It took him several hours and he said every box had directions and they all varies slightly so he had to undo what he built a few times. I also do not like the fees and water bins. They are too big and deep for smaller chickens. The smaller chickens can perch on the one without a cover and poop in it. So I don’t use those. Other than those issues, this item is amazing and worth every penny. I am so glad we purchased this. Easy to clean and easy to care for my chickens.

Rather difficult to build - you definitely need 2 people with strong hands

I moved and bought a wooden house . Big mistake . So Pleased with my purchase

I have wanted an eglu chicken coop for a few years. But I felt that they were expensive. I recently needed a new coop and run. I found the price was comparable to the equivalent size wooden coop and run. But the quality and ease of build far exceeds the wooden coops.

having kept chickens for 15 plus years and struggling to keep a wooden coop hygienically clean i am delighted with the ease of use for my Eglu coop. i wish i had bought one a long time ago

I originally ordered for my hens but ended up using it for my 4 khaki Campbells and they seemed to like it.

We bought an Eglu Go-Up a year ago for our chickens and found it easy to construct, move around and keep clean. We also bought the fencing to provide them with more space. Knowing it was not predator-proof we always shut the hens in the Eglu at night, but a predator got at them during the day and killed them all! We have now replaced the chickens and are about to construct a walk-in run to give them more space while keeping them safe. I would echo the comment in a previous review that it is a pity the Go-Up cannot be fitted with an automatic door though- that would be a great bonus!

Everyday the chickens scrap the bedding out of the nest box when trying to lay leaving it completely bare and gets filled with droppings. I have to fill the egg box everyday with bedding, which is not practical at all. Poor design! Love the Eglu Cube that is superb!

Bought an original Omlet chicken house many years ago and delighted with that one. Bought the newer style recently but whilst some features are better (the “perch” now being one piece rather than two) I miss the side opening to check if there are eggs. The fixings weren’t that great either, especially the food compartment although everything does close. I guess the price reflects the difference.
