Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Up - 1m Run Extension

Look on forums for reviews, my experience with the omlet is common.The coop itself is easy to clean - the run is NOT predator proof and WE LOST A CHICKEN. The openings are more than 1/4 in big, so a grounded HAWK managed to reach in and ATTACK AND KILL and PULL A CHICKEN towards it and EAT HER through the wide openings of the grate. We had to reinforce the entire run portion with hardware cloth, as the hawks returned for more.. AWFUL EXPERIENCE considering how much we spent on the set up with 9ft of run. Although a set up from tractor supply may have been harder to clean, one of my girls would still be with me AND I would have saved a few hundred dollars…our neighbors who are experienced chicken keepers also pointed out how weasels and fisher cats and foxes could easily penetrate the run. We are in the northeast where it gets pretty cold, so we put a wireless thermometer inside to make sure the coop is as insulated as omlet claims. It turns out it’s always the same temp inside as it is outside. DO NOT RECOMMEND. This has been a costly experience emotionally and financially- We are looking into alternatives now and encourage Eglu to add a bigger disclaimer about how their runs are absolutely not predator proof and if you have one already please reinforce with 1/4” hardware cloth for your birds

We set up the coop and run two weeks ago. Everyone is enjoying it: the chickens, the dogs, the sunshine! Still easy to move about the yard with the extension. Bobcat has visited and left dinnerless!

I found this relatively easy to install which is unusual for me as I’m not a natural at these things. It looks smart and and has enhanced my hen’s environment.

Our chicks desperately needed some space. This product is so easy to install

I am very pleased with my overall setup, I do wish it was slightly taller, but everything else is great!

Works great and my hens appreciate the extra room

Very happy with this. Went together fine. No problems

Purchased the 1m extension and so glad we did! We feel this gives extra room for our 3 hens to move around and it doesn’t make it any more problematic when changing positions in our garden.

It was quite unstable to start with but once it was all attached and the perch added the extra meter on the run made such a difference it was definitely worth the hassle of attaching it to the existing run.

Has made a big difference for my hens, especially in bad weather when they can have more protection under a large tarp. although they are out within an electric fence normally. Did have to put on a perch across to give more stability especially when moving the house.
