We are building a new hen house and due to the bad weather recently, progress has been very slow, hence the run is still in the box.

Fencing is fine. Easy to put up and good materials etc. Just make sure your chickens are in their coop when you put it up. Don't do what I did and fence them out! I've got 2 in now but the third just can't seem to get her head around the concept of the new gate opening..

The jacket arrived just in time for the -12 temperature we had during the big freeze. All four chickens stayed warm and cosy inside overnight and opted to sit inside during the day too! Front vent still allows for air circulation.

When we got our basic Go Up we realised that the area of run would only be about 2 sq.m. and a run extension would give the hens 50% more space. The extension kit was an obvious choice, despite the fact that we could have made something cheaply from chicken wire. The Go Up Run Extension is not cheap, but it is a good quality item and fits perfectly to the basic Go Up run. We had no trouble fitting it, and I would absolutely recommend it without reservation. We found that the sides could flex a little more than we wanted, so we cut a length of wood to fit, cut notches at each end, and fitted it as a perch in the mid point of the run. This really braces the whole thing, and the girls spend a lot of time up on the perch, watching the world go by. We have no criticism about the extension, and it is well worth the investment. Our only difficulty is getting inside to clean the run, but we will train our children to do this chore....... !

I decided to purchase a Eglu go up to try and combat the red mite problem. I’ve had the coop for my 4 chickens now about a week and I love it. It’s so easy to clean and makes my life so much easier. No more major clean out days. It takes minutes. I wish I’d got one years ago instead of the wooden coops that I’ve had to replace a few times. My one concern was that the chickens wouldn’t take to it as they’ve all been used to wooden coops but I needn’t have worried. After dark I took them out of the old coop and transferred them to the Eglu. They’ve been using it ever since. Would definitely recommend it. Well worth the money.

Great feeders. Keeps food dry and accessible and my chickens love them.

We just got a new batch of 4 chickens and we needed a new coop, so decided to go for an Eglu. It is well made and the chickens seem very happy. Cleaning is easy as the plastic washes very well. After 48 hours of being unsure about the ladder up, they seem to have mastered it and it is good to have them raised as we do get the inevitable rats and I feel happier with the coop raised off the floor. As they are already in a run we did not need the attached run. The feeders have been great - they fit plenty of feed in them and again, once the hens worked them out, they've been fine. We expect his to last us a good few years.

I brought the Eagle Cube Mk2 and it is fantastic. I have had a rabbit Eglu before and that was a great purchase. These products are worth every cent, they are designed extremely well for the feather and fur babies. If you are thinking about purchasing one just do it. The girls had a wooden coop and it was falling apart, once they were in their new Eglu home they were much happier and comfortable.

Girls love it (when we can stop them chickscaping). Kepps them dry and so much cleaner.

We bought this for our bantams just before the snow. So glad we did, they were cosy and warm and even decided they would lay despite the freezing temperatures!
