Great addition to the eglu

Bought this product as being a small charity that runs entirely from our own home, we needed to be able to allow our cats the freedom of some fresh air but in a safe enclosure. Our back garden is so small building outdoor cat runs is proving challenging and yet we need something. So we bought the standard product to try it out and although yes at first it takes a bit of figuring out how to put it all together, once erected, it is surprisingly cat proof and yet not as noticeable because of the green plastic coated mesh so does not look horrendous as wooden framed monstrosities might look. Now just need to figure out what to buy next so I can extend it to provide more play area for the cats.

I purchased a green cube with 3m extension and it has faded in colour not that that detracts at all. I love the practicality of a cube , ease of cleaning and fox proof but it needs adjustments something I didn't think of when I purchased it. When you have the extensions on you have great difficulty getting inside as my husband likes to dig over the soil in the run quite regularly. My chickens don't free range so as I only have four there is plenty of room. We have to have the feeders and drinkers near the door for ease of filling and taking off to wash etc and this causes bickering amongst the chickens, it would be easier to have some feeders under the cube to separate them. We have had to purchase a clear tarpaulin for shelter but as we had such a wet winter/ spring it caused the rain to run down the tarpaulin and straight into the run. The chickens were up to their eyes in mud. I am really happy with it but these problems spoil it. I wanted a hen house and run that looked neat without having to add bits on that make it look a mess. I don't like the fact I cant stand up in the run, I'm only 5ft anyway but the walk in runs are far too expensive.. I hope I win the lottery and then I will buy one.

Very helpful on phone to newby Chooks owner, retired and wanting fun productive hobby. Delivery was a nightmare as not in their catchment area and one box sent by mail delivery to other end of country but after a week all boxes arrived. Customer service were a great help. Not easy to put up but did it in the end one afternoon, once learnt the names of pole clip, run clip etc and panels go on outside of poles. Door tricky too. Eglu go up only just fits inside diagonally and not much room to get trays out. Expensive but well worth the money! I don't have to bend down, very easy to clean run floor with rake, just soil at mo but intend to give girls selection of bark, turf, shingle. I have lined bottom tray with layers of newspaper then wood shavings and so easy to slip one piece out each day to clean. Straw in nest box. My dark Sussex Chook laid an egg the very first morning! Only room for one chicken on nest box so not sure what will happen when all 3 laying, I also got a light Sussex and Rhode red chicken from Paul at The Ark, Roughton, Norfolk...very helpful hints and tips too. A smallish area for the 3 girls in my small garden but they love it! I give them something different each day to amuse them, thanks to all ideas on Omlet forum. The most amusing is hanging old sprout stalk upside down from roof....jumping chickens to get last leaf at top. They get on well with my old black Labrador. Totally safe inside run so can let chickens be independent, leaving coop door open as it is summer, they get up at 4.30 am and go to bed at 8.45 all by themselves! I am now saving up for run extension! Thanks Omlet - a great product, easy to clean and less danger of mites! I highly recommend this product.

The product is excellent and easily managed by my 3 year old grandson who has full care and control of his 2 chickens. He is able to feed, water, clean out and collect the eggs without any adult assistance. My only problem was with the assembly instructions. Some of the diagrams were too complex....the use of exploded diagrams along with step by step actions would have been of more use.....but being a woman I managed to work it out.

Great to just walk in to the run, no more bending down to get access the coop. Plenty of room for our chickens to stretch their wings and perch. Most important of all - it's predator proof! Delivered and put together by a lovely gentleman, as we decided it would be far too complicated for us!

Very happy with the Eglu Cube and our four girls. Delivery was on time and we were so grateful that the assembly was done for us. The girls settled in quickly and we had our first eggs after just one week. It's a great product and really easy to keep clean. Very happy customers!

So pleased with the walk in rabbit run, my rabbits definitely approve and love bouncing around in it, I have set up the 6 x 9 foot and love that I will be able to make it even bigger for them in future. My husband and I put it up together (quicker to have two people!), once we got started it was easy to do. I have the lower height one, which you can easily crawl in and out of to sit with the rabbits inside. I have put an extra chain and lock around the door opening, no way the rabbits can open it, its more to keep people out! Best run I have ever had and sturdy, our cat likes to relax on the top!. I also got the combi cover which works really well with this size run.

This coop is Amazing!! It's super easy to set up. The cleaning is really easy. Our two eldest clean it each week and it takes 5 mins at the most. I was a bit worried if the girls would lay in the little dish but the have just started laying, we get 3 fresh eggs in there every day. Brilliant design.

I am very pleased with Eglu Go up Chicken coop. The birds settled in very easily and quickly. They are not confined to the coop and run, as they have the whole garden to roam around in. Furthermore it is so easy to clean.
