Bought this with the 1m extension back in march. Delivery time from order was approximately 1 month but we were told of this with in a day or two of the order which was fine. The gentleman who delivered it was professional and assembled it efficiently. He gave us a brief talk over how to handle and look after the three cooks we also bought and then left us to it. Whole thing took approximately 1.5hrs. The coop is lovely and easy to clean. We ended up getting a Walk in run as although they say you can fit 3 in the Up and run, it was a bit cramped and difficult to clean. It was especially hard trying to get hold of the chickens at first as you can't really get inside the run. The WIR has made it much easier and more sociable. The chickens have been fantastic but it has been a steep learning curve and its amazing how much you can spend on trying to keep them happy and healthy. They also poo FAR more than I ever expected. We've settled into a good cleaning routine of cleaning the bars twice a week and then giving the whole thing a good clear out once a month. Whilst you can just slide the bottom drawer out to empty the droppings, my chickens don't seem to understand that their poo is supposed to drop between the bars. We end up scrubbing both the tray and the bars at each clean. If I were to buy again then I would probably buy the Cube rather than the UP as it has a separate nesting area (the hens like to poo in their nesting box which means the eggs need a good clean) and Im already wishing I had more room for a few more hens. It really is addictive!

Would not be without these for the winter, keeps the wind and the rain off the girls when it is driving and gives them a nice, dark, secure area to take to when anything upsets them. Plus it will keep the snow out.

Really pleased with this product, gives the girls plenty of safe playing room and me the security of knowing whilst I am at work that they are secure. Particularly like the stable door which helps when I am wanting to put their afternoon treats in without actually going inside - saves mobbing!!

My entire package has been a great success, the chickens are producing four eggs now after just five weeks. They seem very happy and i try to let them go free range when I am able to supervise them. Unfortunately we are inundated with foxes and we have red kites so are not safe untended.

It seems the design of this has changed and there is no return on the foot pedal making it awkward to push down and, unless you have a hard soled pair of shoes on, is hard and sharp. Otherwise, the set, once you have engaged the pedals in the slots, makes life so much easier for wheeling the Go Up around

These are great and have helped transform my hens new home - creating a sheltered oasis under their cube. Many thanks

Extremely good product,after applying to chicken for 3days the diarrhea cleared and she is healthy.

We bought two (as the best option we could see on the Omlet site) to fit over an Eglu Go-Up and try and prevent the ground looking like the Somme. They have certainly improved the situation with all the rain we've been having lately so thats the good news. However, the eyelets have rusted within a few weeks. Due to the design of the go-Up the rain still get's in under the coop and around the edges of the cover so the ground is still fairly wet and muddy. The "Clear" plastic is now filthy as the chickens flick muck around (admittedly we could take the covers and wash them down). In the short term the covers have improved the situation for the chickens. Longer term I will probably build a permanent roof structure over the top of the Go-Up and run to keep the chickens dry and mud free.

I stood in the pen turning this thing over and over and still cannot work out how it goes together. in the end I propped it up against the extension run wall and it seems to do the job.

This is what my hens have been waiting for. They never really liked not being able to go up and perch at night and often would perch on top of the Eglu Go, before going in at night. This is just perfect, ideal height, easier for me to clean out too. The ladder is amazing. We attached a bit of our old un-used run to the legs, so now is perfect for attaching the feed and water under the GO I use Omlet chicken fencing, so didn't need to buy the run, which would have been very expensive, but the price of the frame and ladder is great value. Also used my old plastic cover to go around two of the legs so it keeps dry under there too. The hens love going under there when its wet and windy. I wish Omlet, you would produce a separate nesting box. The one in the Go gets too dirty overnight, so I have bought a small wooden weatherproof rabbit box for them to lay eggs in, They usually lay after they have been let out in the morning, so this way I get clean eggs. A small Omlet one would be much better though. perhaps like a mini GO? Also the feeders for the GO are too large and deep. Something half the size would be ideal for 2/3 hens. Thank you Omlet
