We chose the omlet because it looked long lasting (as compared to some timber ones), easy to clean, super sturdy and safe and quite attractive and of course it is portable which was a must for our small suburban backyard. Took a few hours to put together and my fingers hurt from all the clasps, but it came together ok and we're happy with the finished product. Only took the girls two nights before they started putting themselves to bed at dusk. We LOVE how it locks up like a vault for night time, you can sleep soundly knowing the girls are locked up tight and safe from foxes. The wire mesh of the run is lovely and sturdy too and we have had no issues with vermin trying to get to left over food meaning you can fill the food container quite full without worries. Cleaning is a breeze, we were worried it might get stinky, but a full cleanup and wash of the coop area once a week has been fine. Our girls are too young to lay yet so the nest box is closed off, the door is handy. We can't wait until the auto door mechanism is available, will be especially happy when we have chicken sitters as we are worried about them forgetting to lock the door at dusk. We let our chooks out to free range when we are home but otherwise they are very content in the run area with enough room, we added a piece of dowel under the coop in the run so they can roost there during the day time if it is raining or they just feel like relaxing. It is on the pricier side compared to others on the market but we feel it was worth paying more for. Very highly recommended.

Was dispatched and delivered extremely quick almost within 24 hours! So far everything with the coop seem great and is a solid design.

good size, using it for green stuff as too heavy when full for omlet fencing, makes it bow, also too tall for the silkies to drink from..

I bought this time to fit my straight sided WIR panels and it works beautifully. The old Go UP feeder tilts back slightly on a straight sided panel, and the chicks have a hard time getting to the food unless it's filled up which results in a lot of wastage. Grub holds plenty for my 3 hens and the nice wide access holes can fit 2 friendly hens at the same time! Only thing is it's rather difficult to hand wash. I stick it in the dishwasher then wipe dry and leave it for a bit - that does the job! Great item!

My two mini lops had been house rabbits for the first two years of there lives but due to a house move it was time to venture outside. I wanted to make sure that they had a home which was safe and gave them enough room and sure enough the Eglu has given them that. Building the Eglu itself was straight forward but the run had me and my partner tied in knots. I contacted omlet and we were in fact send the wrong instructions and our run came with 5 top panels and a support bar instead of the 3 panels which we were expecting. This was soon explained by customer support and we were sent new instructions via email. A tip to those yet to build the run would be that the pieces have to be clipped tightly into place as at first they don't seem to join. It is definitely a two person job and a little strength is required. I ordered both full length covers as we ended moving them in very wet conditions, the bungee cords are great and the covers have easily overlapped to give shade and complete cover from rain. I have put the covers on so they are not flush to the floor to allow circulation and they both seem to be very happy. I was concerned about the underfloor anti tunnel as our grass is definitely not flat! I combat this my using some tree trunk bricks that my rabbits were already fond of, which not only holds the run down to stop their feet getting caught but also gives them look out points. They have also continued to use their plastic potty which I've placed at the front for an easy clean and I also decided to leave their carry case in as an outside hideout (this also makes it harder for them to know when a trip to the vet is on the cards! The only criticism would be that I was not confident that the door to the run would stop anyone getting in or out! I decided to order more run clips to add a few to the front door which can be popped off before opening. Great product, happy bunnies! Thanks omlet

To start with I wanted a taste of the country, so I decided I wanted to own chickens, i remembered my friend who had chickens and said he had a omlet classic, this was around 4-5 years back and I remembered him saying it was 100% fox proof. So I decided to have a look on the websites and after carful thought I choose this one. I saw wooden coops for half the price but then you have to buy the treatmeants and maintain it each 6months it was a lot of hard work. And the omlet eglu go is .... just simple. I built it my self, took me around 2 hours to do with the 2m run. I love it and so do my 4 chickens thank you!!!! Maybe in my next house... I will get the bee hive

This is a brilliant product in every respect except for the ladder. My chickens have been used to a slatted wooden one and they find the thin narrow steps uncomfortable. Chickens like to curl their feet around a more tubular shape and the edges hurt their feet. My husband has made a slatted wooden one which is less steep and they now go in and out quite happily but it has to be tied to the metal ladder or it slips off. Apart from that we are vey happy with it. I am disabled and it's so easy for me to clean out which makes my husband very happy as he had refused to let me help him with the old wooden one since I accidentally knocked the lid down on his head.

Over the moon with cube. Hens had trouble with ladder at first as they were only pullets. After trial and error for a fortnight with a ramp they are now using ladder. Easy to clean. Plenty of room for my 7 ladies. Great ventilation.

Installed two swings, but so far, none of the chooks had a go, even they usually jump on everything a bit elevated. Wondering, how to entice them to get up, maybe have to try some food. Otherwise a great idea. Also using a food ball and they love rolling it around to get the food coming out. Also use to put a butchers hook through the stalk of a cabbage head and then hang it up on some bungee straps about 20 cm from the ground. The chooks and ducks have a ball catching the swinging head and get a bite out of it. All gone within an hour or two.

Good size worked perfect
