A well designed piece of kit. Easy to clean. Cosy for chickens. May extend run by 2m soon.

i bought this for my Big Girls, but I rushed trying to get them to use it. I knew that chicks would love it though. From the moment that twe started to put the chicks outside for short periods (about 2 weeks old), the swing was there, just a centimetre off the ground. The chicks ignored it, they jumped over it, jumped on it, and they barged into it a lot. This was great, they weren't fazed at all by it swinging. After a couple of days, one of them tried sitting on it. As soon as that happened, they all wasnted to have a go. As the chicks grew, we raised the swing. When they were very small we'd have a line of them sitting on it. My chicks are now between 5 weeks old and 7 weeks old. Now they are bigger they tend to take it in turns, although I occasionally see 2 of them on there together. It's really well made. At first, I thought it would be just as easy to make something myself with a couple o fbits of rope and a broomhandle. However, it isn't that simple. This is really well thought out, so although it swings when the chook leaps off, it doesn't twist round on itself. It's easy to adjust, and the perch bit is well shaped and sized. Whgen we introduce our chicks to the Big Girls latger in the year, the swings are going with them - and I bet the Big Girls learn how to use them. It's so popular that I've had to buy a second one.

A lovely mix of grain, wheat and maize, with no rubbish added and no chaff. My ladies love this and it helps me train them to head down towards the coop in the early evening after free ranging in the day. I've decanted it into big storage bins to keep it fresh, since it arrives in a paper sack which is very very weighty. I use a scoop to serve it which means there is less waste. There is never the smallest amount left on the ground and the ladies have even sussed out where the corn bin is in the cottage! To top it all its organic. Will be coming back for more when I need to, this will be a staple for my girls, alongside the Marriages Layers Pellets.

EGLU Go UP with extension and additional 1metre extension is quite heavy to move around and so I decided to make a fixed site and followed the instructions. The conversion Imp to metric are wrong. If you fill in the bedding and then push the coop into place the skirt pushes the bedding out of place

Great product - we're using it for our ducks. If you're considering getting one for more than 4 ducks, it will need adapting - our ducks are enjoying the freedom of being outdoors in the sunshine - they're in an enclosed quad, however I'm sure they'll make more use of the Eglu in the colder months.

Having recently upgraded to the "Go - up" version with the extension following the addition of two extra bantam chicks, we needed to keep them dry. As yet, Omlet haven't got a clear plastic cover available so I used the cube one and simply turned it sideways and it fits well and is just the job. Brilliant.

I have had my green cube for about 5 years now and its still great. Its been out in all weathers around my field, it's kept my hens safe and warm. I wouldn't hesitate - although it seems expensive initially it's far easier than wooden hen houses.

Pity the right wheel had one of the plates welded on back to front which caused a delay in being able to erect the coop. However this was dealt with very quickly and efficiently by the sales team and a new wheel arrived very quickly
