Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Up - Chicken Coop for 3 Large Hens

Ok, we've had a Eglu Go Up for 12 months or so and I would like to suggest that after that time and with occasional moves, the cages do need a service. What I mean by service is to pull apart the hut component, karcher (pressure clean) the hut and a retightening of the screws. After that, its like new again.

We decided to buy the Omlet run after having lost chickens in a cheaper wooden coop. I feel that the sleeping quarters are impenetrable and the run looks really safe too. I love the smart design and how you can lift the run up to move it easily around the yard on the wheels. The easy open swing door is pretty cool too. I'm also comfortable knowing that there are well designed add ons that I can get to improve my set up. Wish we had of went with Omlet in the first place - I reckon I can safely say that there is probably no safer or better designed coup for backyard chickens.

Can you move a 12ft tractor without handles? Sure. Is it easier with handles? God yes.

After having wooden coops before and knowing how hard they are to keep clean and mite free, the Eglu Go Up is a breeze to clean. 5 mins in the morning to hose the trays and an hour or two in the sun, and all done! I can move it on my own and the chickens have settled in well. I took one star off for how hard it was to put together. But maybe that’s just me. Also wish it had an automatic door option.

The coop is useful as it is a lot lighter and easier to clean and move than my old wooden one although obviously a lot more expensive. I was disappointed to find that one of the wheel struts was angled wrongly so that the wheel would not move in a straight line. Although when I complained a new one was arranged straight away, I am surprised that this should happen with such an expensive product. It is not as easy to put together as the video suggests and takes a lot longer than two hours. However now it is done I am hoping it will last a long time and the hens seem happy to roost in it. I will not know about egg laying util spring.

We didn't purchase the handles at first, but honestly it was a little cumbersome to move without them, even with just the coop plus 3' run. We then added another 3' extension to the run and it became near impossible to move without handles. So now we have the handles and they are working great. My only feedback is that the angle in of the handles makes the entry into the run really narrow. I realize this probably makes them easier to use, but I when I move the coop weekly it seems that entry into the run is more important since we use that daily. I also think the handles should be included in the product if you order the cube with wheels.

Have just received all components as there was delays in receiving order. No problems and easy to clean at this stage. Hens are happy and warm!! Ladder rungs very flimsy and fall off sometimes.

Fantastic product. We’re first time chicken keepers and this is super. Chickens like the coop and run. Very easy to clean. Assembly was a two person job and assembling the run was very fiddly. Worth it though, especially as we know there is a fox in the vicinity! Marked 4/5 due to the amount of unnecessary plastic packaging, bags, ties etc. Please can you look in to other options

We purchased this coop because of the current bird flu restrictions & our chickens do seem a lot happier. It will be a godsend when restrictions happen again. It's very easy to clean & the fact that we opted for wheels is a bonus. It does seem very pricey though especially when you add on the additional charge for delivery.

A great addition to any of the range with wheels... makes moving the Cube and Go so much easier, although could do with being a bit longer and more wheelbarrow like for the Go. Wish I'd bought them much sooner.
