Excellent product, good value for money.

I am pleased with the eglu but there are a few things that could be improved. The house itself is great, I like the fact it is easy to clean and wont rot or harbour mites. Less good is the ladder - my little bantams cant walk down it, so they fly/fall out and crash into the wire of the run. Maybe they will learn but they have been in it about a month now. The other thing is lack of shelter from wind and rain - we have had to add on some windbreaks, as it has been windy and the rain blows straight under the house. If I put the food hopper where i can reach it from the door, the rain gets in it and the food goes mouldy. If I tuck it under the house, I have to crawl into the run to refill it, as there is no hatch to access it. So overall the eglu is 5 stars but the run and ladder 3 stars.

Bought the Omlet Eglu Go hutch because I've had my bunnies for 6 years and I've got through 3 draughty wooden hutches. I had to bring them in when it was cold and they don't like being cooped up in their indoor cage. The Omlet hutch has got everything covered for me all my problems solved: 1. It is plastic so can be sterilised every time I clean them. 2. Draught free ventilation, I won't need to bring them in anymore when it's cold! Happy bunnies, clean house! 3. Wire floor, my bunnies are massive diggers and my lawn remains intact. 4. I bought a clear rain cover so my bunnies can remain dry and can still see the sky, which is good for their mental wellbeing. 5. Their hay rack is in the hutch so their hay remains dry. 6. Their water bottle is in the hutch so it is less likely to freeze or grow algae. 7. It's super easy to clean out which saves me time The only negative I have regarding this product is that it was a nightmare to put up with my partner and we nearly had to call off our wedding because it was so frustrating!...having said that, this happens when we erect any flat pack furniture! Summary, once erected the hutch is a dream. I couldn't have designed it better myself and would not go back to the conventional wooden hutch. Thanks Omlet!

This is so well engineered, easy to put together, easy to move and easy to clean

The clear cover protects the hens from the worst of the Lancashire wind and rain, frost and snow. Great to be able to see the hens too and they like to see out and enjoy the sunshine.

Finally after keeping hens(in wooden coops) for several years I have been swayed to the light side. The EGLU up and go was a breeze to put together and is housing my bantams very nicely it's very easy to clean. What make me finally purchase it well I got a secondhand OMLET that was over 10 years old and was still in such good condition,I felt that this was an investment. This, coupled with the fact that I no longer have to spend summers fighting red mite, says the descisson is a no-brainer

Building the coop could be easier, but the product is excellent. I erected the Eglu Cube with the help of my partner Helen. It definitely takes two to make the build easier. Alignment is sometimes challenging, but in the end we built it. I am not 100% convinced that all parts were new. I would recommend that you pay the extra £20 or so if you live within two hours of Oxford to ask the delivery manager to build the Cube for you. The product is well thought out and a very significant upgrade on the thatched but deeply flawed chicken coop we had beforehand. Hence the 5 stars.

Great product ...... went together well and has transformed the area that our chickens live in.

I was never going to buy a wooden chicken coop because I can build myself and at least match if not exceed those that are available ready made. However, time was against me on this occasion. My partner's birthday was looming and I hadn't even made a start on the coop I'd promised her. So, I looked at the Omlet website for a solution. I'd seen the Eglu before, but always considered it a touch expensive (but then I am incredibly tight). How wrong can you be? I took a punt and I'm so glad I did. The Eglu Go is a first rate design that just oozes quality. My partner loves it and our three new hens love it too - they're so content. Every time I look at it, it gives me pleasure - just appreciating the design and quality, and knowing that I made the right purchase. It reminds me of the adage, sometimes attributed to swiss watch makers, but also Sir Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce) i.e. 'quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten'. If you're undecided on whether to purchase an Eglu, don't be - buy one, you will not be disappointed.

The gutter is a sensible idea to hold down the edge of another as the recent winds have caused gaps in the roof. The run is far less wet now, thanks to whoever thought this up.
