Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Up - Chicken Coop for 3 Large Hens
Excellent but the run clips are janky
Coop:
The coop is excellent, 5/5. Went together easily. I used blue loctite on all bolts and screws for added security then lacquered all metal parts to prevent corrosion. Overkill but I'm an engineer so meh!
Run:
The run is good but a bit janky, as you would expect from a wire frame with no braces. It doesn't need braces but I really don't like the rattle in the wind and the very loose fit and finish of the supplied clips. About 200-300 cable ties later everything is as stuff as anything and all the gaps disappeared. The doors swing true and the skirt is perfect. For just a couple of quid and an hour's time this is a must IMO. After sniping the cable tie tails you can't really see them so it doesn't look like a bodge, thankfully. If these cable ties were supplied this would definitely push this up to 5/5. You get a few but not enough to take out all the slack and wobble.

Love it!
Waited ages to get one of these as couldn’t justify the expense however after numerous cheap wooden coops not lasting 2 mins I took the plunge. Best thing I ever did. Well worth the money and really can’t find fault with it . Hoping to get another one soon. It your doubting spending the money don’t , get it bought!!

Sturdy coop
I purchased this coop to keep one chicken apart from the flock for its own safety. The coop is small but sturdy. I wouldn’t keep more than two chickens in it, and I feel they would need more foraging space than the 6 ft pen allows. It wasn’t a quick and easy assembly. It took several hours. I’m concerned that the pen isn’t completely predator proof and will use hardware cloth to reinforce it. I think it was a little pricey for what it is but I bought it for a quick fix for my situation.

Cleverly designed product, chickens very happy
Arrived very well packaged. Masses of instructions a bit daunting at first. Follow them step by step and it's not too bad. The whole thing works very well with enough room for our three birds with easy access to feeders and to clean housing. We move ours about every four days, the wheel system works very well. No sign yet of foxes or other undesirables trying to break in. Altogether a very well thought out product.

Overall great little pen especially now I've added nest area
I bought this package for my 2 hens having always had wooden pens. It's great to clean particularly easy to access but I was a bit annoyed the eggs kept getting dirty. For overnight the hens bums overhung the nest area and messed in the nest area. Solution was to put in a plastic mini shallow garden trug secured with bugee cords and now I have clean eggs laid in clean straw!

Great Coop
Although it took time to put together, it was well worth it. I live in the country, and nothing can get through the cage. My hens are safe and healthy.

Overall pleased - not as solid or well finished as classic eglu
Not my first eglu and had high hopes having been impressed with my two previous classic eglus. Needed something bigger and went for the Go Up. Easy to put together and pleased with how the run and house fit together but disappointed with how rickety it feels e.g. the rear door misaligns easily preventing closure and also isn’t hinged so falls off easily especially if my son opens it. Also disappointed by marketing pictures that don’t more honestly show the prominent white casting dots on the side. Only visible from different angles and photos. I had to call up as I thought it was a rogue batch and was redirected to further pictures that do indeed show it. We have four bantums in ours and they seem happy in it but struggle to locate nest box as it is quite open and the straw can get knocked out. They also struggle with the ladder for some reason.

Eggcellent!
Love this coop! Keeps my 2 girls safe and secure. Very easy to clean and looks great in my garden.
Eglu Go and stand easy to put together- did it on my own. The run a little more difficult but not too bad. The instructions also give fabulous tips on chicken keeping!

Fabulous!
My Eglu Go Up was delivered on Wednesday - very fast delivery! The coop was fairly easy to put together, the run, however was a little more difficult. Once erected its fabulous! Got my 2 girls today (16 were grower hybrids) and they settled immediately! Were only in the coop/ run 3 hours and put themselves to bed! Obviously happy with their new home! Thank you Omlet for a wonderful addition yo my garden!

Omlet egup
OMG!!! Love, love, love this gorgeous chicken house and run. We have had chickens for over 25 years and hubby has always done a Heath Robinson and built 'quaint' and 'quirky' houses. I can tell you now, the chickens are so much happier in their new home. Warm, easier to keep clean, comfortable and super stylish. I cannot believe that we have waited so long to treat our hard-working chickens to what they deserve xx
