Customer Reviews

Our introduction to eglu was the purchase of a classic on eBay and loved it, the chickens also seemed to be very comfy so when we needed to upgrade and after missing out on several cubes at auction I naturally went to omlets website. I have to admit I did get a shock when I saw how expensive they are I had definitely not banked on spending the best part of a grand on a chicken coop and extra meter of run. However, if you can afford to pay the price of an EGlu no matter what model you will not be disappointed with it, they look so much better in the urban garden than the standard wooden shed type coop, it's so quick to clean (properly) and I was surprised how warm they are inside. Also the customer service I received from omlet has been second to none and speed of service excellent, despite my initial comments on price I will be buying the replacement for my other coop from omlet.

Basically very pleased with this. Daily use very straight forward, easy to clean apart from the front door step which cannot be reached unless you dismantle the house and run or crawl inside! Building the house and run was challenging and it didn't always go together easily some brute force required and in one place some string! Am considering extending the run by a metre to allow my two more room and need to check if it's possible to reposition the door into the run as this could help with cleaning. Also need to check out the larger clear plastic cover for the approaching winter and wondering if it will be strong enough to survive the Orkney wind!

Once you get used to the order of bringing the wheels up to move, it is a joy to have the ability to move the Eglu around with ease.

Great item - just what was needed after a series of fox attacks on our free range hens. We needed to keep the girls in a little bit more and this was the perfect answer to add to the end of our very long cube run. It was fairly quick and easy to put up. We laid out the run on the ground in the correct shape. Once that was done it was quickly assembled. Took a couple of hours. Easy to attach to the cube run and the girls are now safe and sound when I am not around to keep an eye on them. Blends very well into the garden. Nice and sturdy. Pricey but worth it I think. Will extend it further when finances can stretch to it! Luxury for precious hens!

This panel is good (it does what it says on the tin) but it is (a) expensive for what it is and (b) should have been available at point of sale. Customers need to be able to 'customise' their purchases. Without this extra door panel put near the hutch end of the 2-metre run, I would not be able to tidy/clean the hutch entrance and surrounding run area. I had to buy this panel separately which meant extra cost to me, plus I know have an original panel which is surplus to reqirements.

The washers on my eglu rested making it difficult to undo the screws, ax a result I slightly rounded the screw heads. So I ordered so some they arrived quickly and worked a treat. Hopefully the washers have been upgraded to a better material by eglu so won't rust. They shouldn't have rusted in the first place in my view hence 4 stars. But I have had the eglu many years and the replacement was cheap easy to order and quick to arrive and did the job perfectly

Very pleased with the purchase. Beautifully detailed design which works on all counts. Chickens very happy. One large hen still clucks a lot when jumping off the bottom step in the morning - but she has learned to get on and off the ladder. Well worth the expence.

To sum up an Eglu in one word EASY! Easy to put together. Easy to manoeuvre. Easy to clean. It looks good and is spacious. On the down side PLEASE, PLEASE redesign the stairs. We have attached a wooden set as our 8 week old chicks couldn't use them. The gaps are too wide and the distance to the ground too great.

Was very pleased with this product and the 'girls' loved it. Does not need quite so much as stated on the pack, but will be buying again.

Great idea, gives etra room in run for those with limited space. Very easy to move and seems quite sturdy.
