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

My three point of lay hens arrived on Friday, sulked all day Saturday and on Sunday decided this new Egloo was a perfectly satisfactory place to be. They have feel safe from resident and visiting dogs and put themselves to bed at 7' each evening. It looks good in my small garden too.

Just as a note - I live in Sydney (Australia) which is temperate and I have waited about 8 months to write a review as I don't believe in rapid judgments. I am happy with the way it works. I had a wooden hutch before and it started to deteriorate quite rapidly. I move it around the grass area I have every 2-3 weeks to stop the chickens (I have 4) totally scratching out the area around the feeder bin. Cleaning is much easier but refilling the internal feeder bin is a bit of a pain to get it out and then fit it back in. That includes the water bin as well. I would suggest to open up the size of the squares in the mesh just to make it a bit easier. I moved the feeder and water bins to the outside of the coop to make it easier and reduce the amount of scratching for the spillage. They can't scratch through the outer skirt ;-). Apart from that a good decision. As I side comment I also bought the fencing and it works really well, however I would like to be able to buy just the mesh without the posts as it does degrade and tear. It will also give me more flexibility in moving lines of demarcation as I mow the lawn and limit their depredations. Cheers

For many years I used the Eglu classic. This time around, I chose to try the Eglu up go as the idea of the hen house been higher off the ground appealed very much. After finally getting around to building this weekend, I have to say, that the quality of the classic does not appear to be there. It's seems very bitty in comparison. However I do love the purple colour and the fact that the hen house is in the air. If only the Eglu classic was in the air, now that would be fantastic. Good product could just feel a bit more expensive for the cost. Currently feels very cheap considering the actual cost.

Arrived promptly albeit missing the ladder! which was very quickly sent when I phoned Omlet (Very helpful lady at customer services) Found some difficulty inserting clips around the skirt due to the proximity to the ground, but once overcome it was quickly finished and a very pleasing outcome both practically and visually. Two very happy hens have taken residence and LOVE their new home.

I changed to a Go Up recently and have been really pleased with it. My two chickens have lots of room. It's easy to clean and keep clean. It's expensive but I'm hoping I'll have it for tens of years. There was no ladder in the box but that was sent the next day once I alerted them.

We bought our Go Up recently to replace our wooden A-frame coop. We are so happy with it. My father assembled it and the run, and it took him a few hours - glad it wasn't me! It looks fabulous, and our three chickens are happy in it. It is weatherproof, predator-proof, and so easy to clean. In our tropical Brisbane weather, we no longer have to worry about the wooden coop swelling and warping (we used to have to cover our wooden coop with plastic to cope with the torrential downpours), or about mites and lice hiding in cracks in wood. The coop is easy to move too.

I purchased the Eglu GoUp for my first ever chickens. I must admit I struggled at first putting it together but eventually got the hang of it. It fits perfectly into my garden. The chickens seem very happy and contented. Just waiting for my first eggs .

We found it so hard to put the run together the clips were so hard to use. We used plastic ties they were easy to just pull together. I find it so easy to clean, no mites yet but it's winter the test will be in the summer.

I received all the boxes and on opening it all I found a feeding bowl lid broken, so I phoned and let the customer service people know. After sending a photo the lovely lady sent me a knew one. I then realised I hadn't been sent the egg boxes, so again let them know and customer service sent me some straight away. We are now all set up and our chickens are so happy. So easy to clean out which is why I chose this product in the first place. It was great to see customer service still exists.

I love the Omlet hen house and so do my two hens!! We managed to put it together reasonably easily - found the wheel assembly the most tricky bit. Love that it is easy to clean. Because we need to keep food out of view of marauding jackdaws and didn't go for the covered version it would be good to have a feeder that could be fixed inside.
