Verified Reviews for Eglu Go - 1m Run Extension

Useful extension is functional and attractive. Did not contain instructions about how to fit it which made the process take longer.

Excellent product, however Omlet could label the panels to make it easier to work out which bit goes where!

This extension in my opinion is necessary, otherwise the standard run is just too short. It gives the chickens more room to move about and as it gets wider towards the end it gives them good width as well as length to roam about in. Only negative is the lack of instructions! Considering the price the least Omlet could do is provide adequate instructions. Hence the reason it doesn't get 5 stars

We've had Fearne and Holly for just over a week now, and as they are in their run for most of the day we thought a run extension would give them a bit more room for all that scratching and digging around that they like so much! We let them roam around the garden while we were putting the run together - they were very interested in what we were doing, and sure enough as soon as it was built they went in for an inspection! Really pleased with how it all looks, also got the clear rain cover and the half length strong waterproof shade, and given the amount of rain we've been having lately should keep the girls nice and dry right through the winter.

Very easy to put together. Our hens love the extra space - it has made all the difference to their run. Very pleased we bought it.

We bought the extension after a fox caught one of our two hens in the daylight ( we let them roam in the garden during the day and only closed the Eglu each evening). The extra space means they are very happy to be enclosed all the time, and we have total peace of mind that they are secure. Even with the run extension one of us can easily move the Eglu on our own because it is light and easily moved to a new grassy area, and the skirting gives extra security to prevent anything burrowing under the wire. It was reasonably easy to add to our existing Eglu Go and we are delighted with it.

Putting it together was a bit of a nightmare - took two hours and needed help from two friends to put clips together - but that is probably why it is secure. The chickens took to it immediately and Julia laid her first egg within an hour! Hilary and Michelle produced the following morning and we have settled in to three a day. We kept them in the run for two weeks and finally risked letting them free range last Sunday. Each returned to the Pod to lay and took themselves to bed about 8:45pm then lights out at 9. We don't know what variety they are (bought from a local Portuguese chicken lady) but believe them to be about 5 months old so expect them to get a bit bigger - eggs are white, smallish with light yellow yolks but taste wonderful. Their role is to keep the pests under control - we have a tremendous snail problem - not good when you are trying to grow your own veg so fingers crossed for next year's harvest.

We had two ladies living in the Go with 1 extension. When we introduced another 2 ladies this really wasn't big enough for four so we now have a 4 metre run, it gives us additional room for perches and logs as the extensions also add height to the standard 2m run. Would recommend ordering an extra door panel if you go to 4m as it is much easier to keep clean and get to additional food and water points.

Makes all the difference, we have four girls in our Go and already had one extension. As they can't get out at the moment they just didn't look like they had enough room. The extra space really improves the area, because it is wider it gives them more scratching and bathing spaces and we have been able to add logs and perches to their space. Was definitely worth adding, and was cheaper than the cube, which I still have my eye on but this will keep me happy for a while at least!

Perfect for us and the "girls"
