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

This is my second GoUp. I’m so pleased with my first that when I decided to get more hens (they arrive in a fortnight) I didn’t hesitate to build another GoUp for them.The auto door in the cage adds flexibility for me and the hens.

I originally ordered the Eglu Go Up to have an isolation shelter for a weak bullied hen but never used it for that purpose. I always brood my babies in my home with a DIY brooder but this time, I was raising twice the chicks and they quickly became over crowded. They were too young to put with my cranky old laying hens and had to think out of the box to figure out what to do. I completely wrapped the run of the Go Up with 1/4” hardware cloth and completely covered the floor of the coop itself with nesting pads so none of the babies would get trapped or hurt on the roosting bars…. then put the coop and run in a semi shaded area of the yard, layed out a skirt of 1/4” hardware cloth around the perimeter… (the skirt that comes with the run couldn’t deter the chicken snakes), then placed a reflective heat barrier over the top of the run. It gets over 100 degrees daily in my part of Texas so I thought the heat barrier couldn’t hurt. The Go Up is not recommended for young chicks but I was desperate - now, 15 baby leghorns are having a blast in their new “brooder”. They are playing and perching on the ladder and occasionally venture into the coop. The Go Up and run is working wonderfully for this unintended and unrecommended purpose of housing 3 week old leghorns.

These coops are sturdy and easy to clean. Only improvement I would suggest is a small window. When the door is closed, the only light inside is from the ventilation slits.

We love our EGLU GO UP! It is roomy, warm or cool as required & safe. We roam free range all day & eventually make our way to bed - life is grand. 3 Happy Chooks - Nutmeg, Twiglet & Pearly Queen

It was easy to put together. I did it solo. I wanted to get off my knees caring for my 2 hens. They seem to love their coop. It is unbelievably easy to clean. So much less dust

Putting my Eglu Go Up together was pretty easy. The top piece had a crack but customer service was very prompt in responding and replacing the damaged piece when I reached out. Seems really well made, sturdy and like it will hold up for years to come.

Easy to put together. Really happy to have this as a side coop as needed for introducing new members to the flock.

I purchase the Eglu go up with run. Love the colour. Impressed that with it being plastic is easier to clean

Arrived really well packaged with clear instructions, so sturdy, everything feels so tough and durable, love every design feature , ideal as our girls roam free mostly so perfect for bedtime, so easy collecting eggs and best of all amazingly easy to clean.

Easy to clean. Fairy easy to assemble. One week on, no complaints. Excels in the tropical climate that i'm in. Chickens love it!
