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

We just got a new batch of 4 chickens and we needed a new coop, so decided to go for an Eglu. It is well made and the chickens seem very happy. Cleaning is easy as the plastic washes very well. After 48 hours of being unsure about the ladder up, they seem to have mastered it and it is good to have them raised as we do get the inevitable rats and I feel happier with the coop raised off the floor. As they are already in a run we did not need the attached run. The feeders have been great - they fit plenty of feed in them and again, once the hens worked them out, they've been fine. We expect his to last us a good few years.

We already have an Eglu go up for our other chickens and brought this one for our old girls (we had a cube which is now too big as we are down to 2 girls), it took myself and my partner 1.5 hours to put it together and make it ready for the oldies, they are very happy and snuggle down together every night...We won't go back to buying anything else as it was easy to out together and it's easy to keep clean. Not cheap but worth it. Only thing left to get it the all weather thermal jacket.

I recently purchased this coop with the run extension for my two Belgian D'uccle hens, after buying the Eglu Cube for my ISA Brown hens. This coop is perfect in NEARLY every way, whereas the Cube absolutely perfect. It's the perfect size for bantam chickens, giving them enough space to forage, nest and perch while protecting them from predators and weather conditions. It's a breeze to clean, move, and doesn't require any maintenance (unlike our old wooden coops). However, the only faults I can find with the Go Up is that it was a bit more difficult to assemble, in particular when you attach the run to the coop. It also was missing some pieces required for assembly (which Omlet did quickly send out). Finally, the ladder to access the coop did not reach the ground, and was generally too difficult for my bantams to negotiate. Overall, the Go Up is a great buy, but I prefer the Cube as it didn't have few faults that I mentioned.

I did find it reasonably difficult to put the coop together. Not everything lined up, but after some sweat, perseverance and a few blue words it was done. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, watertight etc. I rescued 3 battery hens and they are happily laying. I had an issue with a cracked feeder lid which Omlet replaced free of charge with no squabble. Highly recommended x

I do love it! It works out great in our heated garage. Fits nicely in the corner with half the run taken off. I worry how well the material will hold up against our weather up here in Michigan. We shall see. We like it so far.

This is my second Eglu so that I can give four more ex-battery hens a happy retirement ! It's an excellent house for them - easy to assemble and clean and keeps them dry and warm.

We got the Eglu "Go up" with the run about a year ago. The "predator resistant" feature was a particular attraction for me and has lived up to the advertising. The cage has been great and we haven't lost any to foxes, cats or chicken hawks since they started using the new run. The chooks are now conveniently located near the vegetable garden to take care of grubs as I find them. I also like the nice clean egg collecting tray.

Really easy to keep clean. I'm confident red mite won't be a problem again. Looks good in the garden. Perhaps nest tray is a bit shallow. Had a few eggs roll out onto bars and fall out and break.

looks good and easy to put together.

We bought the coop with an additional 1 metre extension. On the whole assembly was easy except for the fact that we didn’t assemble the cage gates correctly but even this was our fault. If you do purchase the extension read all the instructions and build it as one. My only niggle is that the instructions are too comprehensive and we ended up with 4 sets of differing content. The best advice which we didn’t follow completely is to watch the video on YouTube. Overall it must be good as our chickens transferred from an enclosed A-frame wooden Ark/coop far more willingly than we expected.
