Verified Reviews for Eglu Chicken Runs

I really love this coop and wish I had bought this as my first coop. This is the fourth coop I have had. The others were wooden. Some fell apart, were no longer secure, and the last one couldn't be moved when we moved. I bought the longest run and can still move the coop by myself. Just watch the youtube video someone posted about how to do it. For the cons: The food bowl seems... odd. Not user friendly. I don't use the food bowl but wish I had a second water bowl. I found the website confusing for the run. It's not as big as it appears online. 1 meter is counted under the coop space itself. I do wish this coop was more affordable. That's why it took so long to actually buy it. I just think while it's awesome, it's a bit overpriced. I noticed shipping went up after I purchased it. It seems secure. I do close the nesting box and front door each night. Overall, it's sturdy, user friendly (minus the food bowl) and easy to move and definitely easier to keep clean.

When we got our basic Go Up we realised that the area of run would only be about 2 sq.m. and a run extension would give the hens 50% more space. The extension kit was an obvious choice, despite the fact that we could have made something cheaply from chicken wire. The Go Up Run Extension is not cheap, but it is a good quality item and fits perfectly to the basic Go Up run. We had no trouble fitting it, and I would absolutely recommend it without reservation. We found that the sides could flex a little more than we wanted, so we cut a length of wood to fit, cut notches at each end, and fitted it as a perch in the mid point of the run. This really braces the whole thing, and the girls spend a lot of time up on the perch, watching the world go by. We have no criticism about the extension, and it is well worth the investment. Our only difficulty is getting inside to clean the run, but we will train our children to do this chore....... !

Bought this as unfortunately can’t let my girls out to run freely unless I’m in the garden to supervise. Makes a big difference to the area they have to run around in and quite simple to put together

Fab. The girls love it. Especially the new swing!

Just what is needed to keep the skirting tight to the ground on an uneven surface - one of the pegs snapped but if treated carefully and once they are in the ground they clamp onto the wire and hold very well. Clever how they screw into / out of the ground - I don't think Mr / Mrs Fox can do that !

Really pleased with my purchase, took my son-in-law and myself 1 1/2 hours approx. to assembly. Coco and Biscuit love going outside, they are Ragdoll crosses and as I live on a busy road I know they are safe. (and so are the birds!!!)

We were quite impressed with these pegs and the attachment for the drill to make putting the pegs in and removing them easier. The pegs are quite solid and hold the extension on the run down nicely.

I have bought 2 packets and will buy another 2 as soon as they are in stock. Excellent for peace of mind for securing the skirt form digging foxes. I have them on 3 of my 5 Omlet coops, a must have.

I am an avian veterinarian and will absolutely be purchasing more Omlet products in the future! One of my favorite things is that these are actually great for the birds general health and disease control/prevention. They get a fresh patch of grass every day which decreases any exposure and re-exposure to parasites and the coop is very easy to keep clean and clean! Highly recommended as a consumer and as a veterinarian. Definitely follow the assembly instructions order if you do get one - time consuming but worth it. I do wish that there was a handle to help lift and move the coop and that the wheels were a little easier to disengage but I am still very pleased with the purchase.

These Omlet screw pegs are really strong and sturdy. Also very easy to use. Can screw into the ground without difficulty. Top large and easy to hold. Removal of pegs also very straightforward. Pegging the skirt of the run into the ground makes the run really safe and secure.
