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

I bought the eglu after my wooden hutch we kept getting red mite, was treating the hutch almost every week plus dusting the girls. Now so much better with the eglu as the tray is easy to slide out and clean so no red mites can attach themselves and fingers crossed we have no red mite so far.

My Eglu took 2 of us about 3 hours to put up. Would have been quicker if we were doing it again the next day. Much of it could be done by one person. The coop and run are on level concrete, with bedding to scratch in. Collected 3 POL Warrens yesterday. Not sure about the feeder. Started with it low down, they ate lots. Then read the instructions! To be placed at hen's head height, which is higher when they stand up straight so not clear. Have placed it higher and they don't seem to be aware of the feed, am monitoring.

Awesome coop. Spacious enough for 4 hens and a rooster. Cool food bowls. Very sturdy Love it

Great coop. Chickens are very happy and super easy to maintain. I under estimated the time it would take to put together so would advise giving yourself plenty of time and minimum of 2 but better with 3 people.

I won this coop from coop dreams. It's a beautiful coop with great design. Many of My girls love laying their eggs inside the coop. I love the egg cartons it comes with. Thank you again coop dreams and thank you omlet for this great product.

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.

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.

We already have an Eglu go up for our other chickens and brought this one for our old girls (we had a cube which is now too big as we are down to 2 girls), it took myself and my partner 1.5 hours to put it together and make it ready for the oldies, they are very happy and snuggle down together every night...We won't go back to buying anything else as it was easy to out together and it's easy to keep clean. Not cheap but worth it. Only thing left to get it the all weather thermal jacket.

I recently purchased this coop with the run extension for my two Belgian D'uccle hens, after buying the Eglu Cube for my ISA Brown hens. This coop is perfect in NEARLY every way, whereas the Cube absolutely perfect. It's the perfect size for bantam chickens, giving them enough space to forage, nest and perch while protecting them from predators and weather conditions. It's a breeze to clean, move, and doesn't require any maintenance (unlike our old wooden coops). However, the only faults I can find with the Go Up is that it was a bit more difficult to assemble, in particular when you attach the run to the coop. It also was missing some pieces required for assembly (which Omlet did quickly send out). Finally, the ladder to access the coop did not reach the ground, and was generally too difficult for my bantams to negotiate. Overall, the Go Up is a great buy, but I prefer the Cube as it didn't have few faults that I mentioned.

I did find it reasonably difficult to put the coop together. Not everything lined up, but after some sweat, perseverance and a few blue words it was done. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, watertight etc. I rescued 3 battery hens and they are happily laying. I had an issue with a cracked feeder lid which Omlet replaced free of charge with no squabble. Highly recommended x
