We bought two (as the best option we could see on the Omlet site) to fit over an Eglu Go-Up and try and prevent the ground looking like the Somme. They have certainly improved the situation with all the rain we've been having lately so thats the good news. However, the eyelets have rusted within a few weeks. Due to the design of the go-Up the rain still get's in under the coop and around the edges of the cover so the ground is still fairly wet and muddy. The "Clear" plastic is now filthy as the chickens flick muck around (admittedly we could take the covers and wash them down). In the short term the covers have improved the situation for the chickens. Longer term I will probably build a permanent roof structure over the top of the Go-Up and run to keep the chickens dry and mud free.

I stood in the pen turning this thing over and over and still cannot work out how it goes together. in the end I propped it up against the extension run wall and it seems to do the job.

This is what my hens have been waiting for. They never really liked not being able to go up and perch at night and often would perch on top of the Eglu Go, before going in at night. This is just perfect, ideal height, easier for me to clean out too. The ladder is amazing. We attached a bit of our old un-used run to the legs, so now is perfect for attaching the feed and water under the GO I use Omlet chicken fencing, so didn't need to buy the run, which would have been very expensive, but the price of the frame and ladder is great value. Also used my old plastic cover to go around two of the legs so it keeps dry under there too. The hens love going under there when its wet and windy. I wish Omlet, you would produce a separate nesting box. The one in the Go gets too dirty overnight, so I have bought a small wooden weatherproof rabbit box for them to lay eggs in, They usually lay after they have been let out in the morning, so this way I get clean eggs. A small Omlet one would be much better though. perhaps like a mini GO? Also the feeders for the GO are too large and deep. Something half the size would be ideal for 2/3 hens. Thank you Omlet

This is a good product worth the cost

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Attaches to my existing Eglu Go easily. Hens hopped up straight away and happy to shelter under it, too. Best of all; easy on my back.

We bought a beautiful lime green cube. Took approx 2 hours to set up (without a run) and was straightforward to complete. We had a previous problem with mites and 2 of our girls were refusing to go into our old house at night, on the 2nd night all girls went in happily. We have warrens, light Sussex, bluebells and speckledys and they can all use the ladder easily. We just placed a large log at the base of the ladder as a step up. Easy to clean out droppings in the mornings. I would highly recommend.

I bought this to replace the original eglu cover which came with the eglu and run as it was falling apart after two and a half years. It is bigger and of better quality than the original one and I think will last longer.

This is my first ever egg coop and I have to say that the Omlet team couldn't have been more helpful and with the Eglu is fabulous. I put the Eglu and run together myself in just under 2 hours with relative ease (much easier than Ikea flat pack!) and minimal bad language. I have 2 hens who have plenty of room and,although one of them can't work out how to use the ladder, they both appear to be very happy in their new home. The wheels help me move the setup around the garden easily and design makes cleaning out fast and easy to carry out. One difficulty I'm having is with the food compartment. I'm finding it very difficult to open it to clean it effectively and once I have opened it I then find it difficult to close. I think I might have to buy another feeder. Otherwise, I've had the Go Up for about 6 weeks now and would highly recommend it.

Arrived today and popped it straight on in the horrid damp cloudiness that we were having replacing the very battered green shade that looks like it's on its last legs. Immediately the girls looked much happier to have a cover that went the entire length.

The cube is brilliant- safe and secure, easy to clean and it looks great. I am delighted with it.
