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

Received excellent service from Omlet, the chap who delivered and assembled the Eglu Go was very helpful. I'm really pleased on the whole, I use newspaper to line the dropping tray which makes the job very quick and easy. The Go could be improved if access was possible from the side as well as the back. As it is I am restricted as to where I can put it in my vegetable garden because of the length of the run. An additional door would be really useful for cleaning the run and if the run was designed so that it was possible to change the shape - a square run would work really well in the space I have. Overall it's a hassle free way to keep chickens.

Having had the 'GO' just over a month now I have found it very simple to use, very easy to clean and the hens seem to be pretty happy in it too. It seems to be very well made and I have no complaints at all. The only slight niggle I have is that it would be so much easier to clean out the run if the top section lifted off . As it is you have to either lie on your stomach to reach in with the rake to drag the contents towards you, drag the entire thing to a different place or dismantle the run from the 'GO'. This is only a slight niggle though as I really would reccomend it and would certainly buy it again.

I really like my Eglu Go, it is very fit for our small backyard and extremely easy to clean. The only thing so far is that our three sikies aren't very clever. So they still haven't figured out how to eat from the new feeding basket (they tend to look only forward and don't see the seed laying below). And they are so small they can almost swim in the drinking tray. So I still use the old ones I already had. But other then that I am very happy with the Eglu.

Fantastic product. Arrived when they said it would. Packages complete, and in excellent condition. Relatively easy to put together, although did need help getting it down to the garden. Now have two bantams living in the eglu and run. Great fun!

Easy to clean. Enough room for 4 chickens. Only downside is that the bedding gets kicked and scratched out of the nesting box. A rim around the nesting box would help.

I'm new to keeping chickens but this seems to make it hassle free. It is very easy to clean (I don't like cleaning!). Every day I just tip out the poo and hose the tray. Only had it a few days but I will hose out the inside soon although it is still looking remarkably clean. It is easy to use - open and shut and access the inside. The chickens love it. I would have liked to have extended the run for when I go on holiday when they won't be able to free range but at the moment you can't get a run extension for it. As it stands tho' I'm very impressed.

Good service but had to wait four weeks for delivery. Chickens are still alive and after three days I have an egg, which I wasn't expecting so soon. They certainly liven up the garden. The Eglu Go seems to be very practical. Whilst the chicks definitely prefer to have the run of the garden I only let them out when I am working in the garden as we are surrounded by cats and foxes. In short, great fun.

House and run really cracking. Grub box heavy when half full of pellets and so not easy to hook onto wire at arms length inside run. If the D shaped upper end panel were hinged this would really help access - particularly for nervous chicken sitting neighbours. Chickens have trodden in the water a couple of times, unhooked and tipped it up - a worry if we are away for day or overnight. Psycho Yoko the Gingernut Ranger tried to kill Miss Pepperpot at first so divided run with canes through bars horizontally and cardboard box for roosting, but they've been fine since free ranging most of day from day 2 (waiting till day 5 would have left us with only one chicken!). Overall, eggcellent!

I give the Eglu Go 4/5 for these reasons: The house is easy to look after with easy access to the inside. It is easy to clean the removable tray but to hose down the inside is not so easy due to the fact that the run is attached and thus it is not easy to move the whole thing. The husband had a 'Go' at removing the run yesterday and it became an Eglu Groan. We put it back together, never to repeat the process. This product would be better with a rectangular run instead of the flared run and if it clipped on to the front of the house. Other than this we are happy with our first chicken keeping product. The chickens are great fun to watch and the suspense over the 'is there/isn't there an egg today' is fun too. One sensible bird (June) who has laid 5 days out of 6 and one batty bird (Eileen) who seems a bit bemused by life.

Very pleased with my 3 gingernuts and their green Eglu go. I have a slight problem with the door but suspect it maybe due uneven ground. Two out of 3 laying - one on the first day! Great service from Omlet
