This Easy chick bedding is absorbent and easy to use. My chickens are very happy with it.

We purchased an Eglu Go about a year ago to replace our old wooden coop and we then replaced the Eglu with a new wooden coop only a month or so after buying it. The Eglu design is great, it looks good and it is easy to clean but it’s just way way too small. Omlet say you can comfortably fit 4 hens in it; absolute nonsense. Your hens will be comfortable only in the same sense that you can comfortably fit half a dozen people in a wardrobe. It’s barely big enough for 2 hens let alone 3 or 4. I’m sure for the less caring chicken keepers who just want chickens for their eggs rather than their welfare it’s perfect but ask your hens if they’d rather have this Eglu or a more traditional and larger coop and I know which one they’d pick. We actually tried this experiment and gave them the Eglu to choose from, the old wooden coop or the new wooden coop; every night without hesitation they all went for the new coop. That said, it’s really great that Eglu have hit on a more modern and clean coop design which makes keeping chickens more appealing to people. If that means people are taking in rescue hens from their terrible lives on battery farms and giving them a better life then I’m all for it. I’m sure given the choice of a battery cage or an Eglu every chicken on Earth would pick an Eglu. But, given the choice between an Eglu and a larger coop I think they’d move in a heartbeat. If only Eglu would make the same style coop but scale it up to a decent size.

Ideal makes access very easy

It worked in the short term but as soon as I stopped using it Harriette started pecking the other 2 chickens again.

our old run is now securely fixed to the eglu thanks to a new set of bolts and washers. The previous set had got rusty and oxidised and were snapped to get them off when the eglu was moved to a new house after 9 years.

our old eglu is now much more secure with this pin in place

Having had a wooden ark previously decided to go for omlet for easy cleaning and maintenance ! Brilliant on that front, very quick to clean out! ! Girls Sussed out the steps up straight away but one still insists on throwing herself off the top rung and lands with a splat coming down in the morning! Love the door, easy to shut them in at night! Run was slightly complicated to put together, hubby was in charge of construction and the number of pieces did seem to make the job harder than maybe it need to be!! Regardless of that will probably get the extension to give them more space soon!!! Love the colour...brightens up the garden and makes me smile!!! Would definitely recommend ( and have done to friends!!!) looking forward to the eggs arriving now!!!

We purchased the run as our chickens had become escape artists and were getting over and through the netting fence despite clipped wings! They are now contained though we have not put the roof panels on as they would collect twigs and leaves. Our only criticism is that the instructions and diagrams are not clear enough at the start as I started with the poles on the inside of the panels and needed a bit of sleight of hand to correct this.

Wonderful extension to our Eglu Classic run. Not that easy for 2 of us (over 60s) to put up but our 4 bantams love the space. I would recommend clearing and flattening the area, before beginning. Hummocks, hillocks, long grass and cold wet weather made our assembly very difficult. The clips can be very difficult to open and close, especially with cold hands. Putting them in warm water does help (the clips, not the hands!)

Great product. Replacing my very old broken wooden roosting bars with these lovely hard wearing plastic ones. Hope my chooks appreciate it!
