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

It took much longer than the estimated 2 hours to put together, however end result was good. I had hoped for one of the "fun" colours (pink, red) but only green or purple available in Australia. Have not yet purchased the chooks so can't say how they will like their home!

This Eglu has been fantastic. Love the rain proof feed container, the little rain tight house they have with adequate roosting perches, a comfy egg laying spot,great easy access to get the eggs,the slide out tray has been brilliant for ease of fertilising the garden with chicken manure and it 's so far been fox proof because of the skirt on it.

We've had chickens for about five years now, and the ladies always seemed happy enough in their wooden house. However, once it started to fall apart, the search for a replacement brought me to omlet. I liked the idea of the up being off the ground, and it does make reaching in and getting the eggs easy, and also does look as though it would have a good chance of withstanding a fox attack if the doors were shut at night. Really impressed by the quality of construction - looks pretty snug for the chickens at night - no wind whistling through wooden boards. Not a huge amount of room for 4 chickens though, and the shallow droppings tray means it needs cleaning more frequently than my old house. Why four stars and not five? It's actually slightly harder to clean than my previous house. I put paper over the droppings tray and laying area, which means those are a doddle - remove the paper, give the plastic a wipe down and you're done. The bars are more tricky, and I find the poo often sticks to them, meaning a stiff brush and vigorous rubbing are required before I can wipe down with a cloth and spray. Not a major headache, but not as easy as I'd expected. Overall, high quality chicken house, and as long as it lasts a good ten years or so, will pay back better than a couple of good quality wood alternatives.

One improvement which could be incorporated is a triangular piece of plastic moulding easily attached to the coop floor to contain the shavings/straw within the egg laying area. Also it might contain a superficial bubble which could be used initially to stop the hens sitting on the nest box overnight. Then removed once they have learnt to roost on the roosting area.

l have purchased the purple Eglu Go Up and l have been very pleased with it so much so l have just ordered another one. no complaints about it all. Im not so thrilled with the feeder as l have difficulty with putting the lid on then l cant get it off easily for cleaning. also the hens have trouble feeding from it unless it is very full once the level drops they start to have difficulty feeding.

We love our Go Up. I am soooo impressed with the ease of cleaning - I hardly even consider it a chore! We have a very small backyard and this fits in perfectly and the girls have loved it from day one. The one part I'm not so keen on is the feeding container - it's hard to take the lid off and it's depth means it can hold ALOT of pellets but it's a struggle for the girls to get to it once it's below half way.

I'm a first time chook owner that purchased the Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop with 2M Run on wheels. It took a while to set up but was easy to do as the instructions are very clear. I have 3 Bantam Leghorns and they love their safe cosy home. Run is very easy to move and our grass is thick and spongy. The Eglu is so easy to access and clean. I also purchased the Chicken swing and the 21m fencing. The Omlet products are some of the best, well thought out designs I have seen in ages. Thanks so much Omlet!

Prompt delivery, excellent product, easy to assemble.

Having worked out how to construct it this is a super piece of equipment. The fact that it is so easy to move & clean with a hose make it infinitely more practical than any chicken keeping houses or runs we've had in the past ! It is therefore easy to keep it looking attractive & not the standard hen house mess!

Really delighted with my eglu go up. Lovely design, easy to clean, cosy dry and warm for my chucks but... the cover for the feeder is IMPOSSIBLE to click in place and to remove. Friends have tried too but it's justy nor doable. Other than that. Delighted!
