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

I researched all types of coops and runs before getting my first three chicks a few weeks ago. I had never seen anything like the Omlet coops but after reading the detailed information and reviews and watching the videos I ordered the Go Up with 6 foot run and wheels. The boxes arrived in a few days and the coop /run went together in about three hours total. My husband and I were impressed with the quality and excellent detailed instructions. The clips were the hardest part, but once you install a few it does get easier. By the second day, the chicks, who were about 4 - 6 weeks old when we got them, were going up and down the ladder. They wouldn't go in the coop at night, so I tried the tip in the manual which said to put a torch/light inside at dusk and sure enough in they went and have been putting themselves to bed ever since. I have moved it three times already and it is easy enough for one person to handle. Cleaning is very quick and everyone who has seen it thinks it's a great design. Today it poured and the chicks hung out under the coop and were dry and happy - an added benefit!

Love the product. Is the perfect size for our Bantam hens.

Coop: The coop is excellent, 5/5. Went together easily. I used blue loctite on all bolts and screws for added security then lacquered all metal parts to prevent corrosion. Overkill but I'm an engineer so meh! Run: The run is good but a bit janky, as you would expect from a wire frame with no braces. It doesn't need braces but I really don't like the rattle in the wind and the very loose fit and finish of the supplied clips. About 200-300 cable ties later everything is as stuff as anything and all the gaps disappeared. The doors swing true and the skirt is perfect. For just a couple of quid and an hour's time this is a must IMO. After sniping the cable tie tails you can't really see them so it doesn't look like a bodge, thankfully. If these cable ties were supplied this would definitely push this up to 5/5. You get a few but not enough to take out all the slack and wobble.

Waited ages to get one of these as couldn’t justify the expense however after numerous cheap wooden coops not lasting 2 mins I took the plunge. Best thing I ever did. Well worth the money and really can’t find fault with it . Hoping to get another one soon. It your doubting spending the money don’t , get it bought!!

I purchased this coop to keep one chicken apart from the flock for its own safety. The coop is small but sturdy. I wouldn’t keep more than two chickens in it, and I feel they would need more foraging space than the 6 ft pen allows. It wasn’t a quick and easy assembly. It took several hours. I’m concerned that the pen isn’t completely predator proof and will use hardware cloth to reinforce it. I think it was a little pricey for what it is but I bought it for a quick fix for my situation.

Arrived very well packaged. Masses of instructions a bit daunting at first. Follow them step by step and it's not too bad. The whole thing works very well with enough room for our three birds with easy access to feeders and to clean housing. We move ours about every four days, the wheel system works very well. No sign yet of foxes or other undesirables trying to break in. Altogether a very well thought out product.

I bought this package for my 2 hens having always had wooden pens. It's great to clean particularly easy to access but I was a bit annoyed the eggs kept getting dirty. For overnight the hens bums overhung the nest area and messed in the nest area. Solution was to put in a plastic mini shallow garden trug secured with bugee cords and now I have clean eggs laid in clean straw!

Although it took time to put together, it was well worth it. I live in the country, and nothing can get through the cage. My hens are safe and healthy.

Not my first eglu and had high hopes having been impressed with my two previous classic eglus. Needed something bigger and went for the Go Up. Easy to put together and pleased with how the run and house fit together but disappointed with how rickety it feels e.g. the rear door misaligns easily preventing closure and also isn’t hinged so falls off easily especially if my son opens it. Also disappointed by marketing pictures that don’t more honestly show the prominent white casting dots on the side. Only visible from different angles and photos. I had to call up as I thought it was a rogue batch and was redirected to further pictures that do indeed show it. We have four bantums in ours and they seem happy in it but struggle to locate nest box as it is quite open and the straw can get knocked out. They also struggle with the ladder for some reason.

Love this coop! Keeps my 2 girls safe and secure. Very easy to clean and looks great in my garden. Eglu Go and stand easy to put together- did it on my own. The run a little more difficult but not too bad. The instructions also give fabulous tips on chicken keeping!
