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

We purchased the Go UP with two additional run extensions. Construction was straightforward until the last part of the stable door which we couldn't get to line up - probably because we had the extra two metres of run extension. Using cable ties instead of run clips as hinges has solved that problem. We also reinforced the sides of the run with two poles, again as the run extensions meant that it lost rigidity. The Go Up is a joy to clean - very straightforward. The chickens settled in very quickly, navigated the ladder with no problems and we had our first egg in the nesting box a week after they moved in. Our six year old can open and close the door and take off the back to egg collect, and the Up frame means that it is at a very easy height to work at. We are very pleased with the purchase.

I have just up graded my Eglu Go to an Eglu GO Up. I am well pleased. Having the Cubes it just mixes in better. Now I am wanting to upgrade my other Go. But the Classic could do with a upgrade as well. People come for chickens and are well impressed. They still have their freedom runs. But it rewarding knowing they are safe when I am out. This is idea for my young chicks once they have left the brooder. Than they can move into the big girls Cubes.

I have turned my Go house into Go Up. I have added the frame, ladder and run. Easy enough to assemble although I have used extra cable ties, as I have on both my cube and classic, as I don't feel the clips make the run fit together enough. I have customised the rungs on the ladder, as my girl don't like them and slip. They are used to ladders too, I have a wooden one to the Eglu and the cube on, which they zip up and down. I covered the rungs with anti slip mats I, you use under rugs, it is much much better. I have joined my Go up to a WIR run again customising the door. If you only want a couple of hens this is good, it is like a mini cube, although I would definitely add another meter extension to it.

We have just spent some of the afternoon UPgrading our Eglu Go to a Go Up. It was surprisingly straightforward for us, thanks to the fantastic instruction booklet and our remembering of how we built it first time around, and after just 90 minutes the girls were in their first floor studio apartment, checking out the view from the balcony! The wheels made manoeuvring around the lawn so much more simple, and I will now be able to do it on my own. The girls have as much room as before, but I have lost less of my garden. So we are all delighted.
