Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Up - Chicken Coop for 3 Large Hens

Hi, My friends, family and myself absolutely love the Go UP chicken coop. We have a 3 metre extension for 5 chickens who we let out daily to freerange. Putting it together almost lead to a divorce but we got it sorted after 2 hours haha. The chickens adjusted to the stairs really well after we put the grip stickers on it. It really was a worthwhile purchase :) In the past I have ordered 12 metres of the Temporary Chicken Fence which looks nice around the patio. The only critique I have is most chickens can still jump over it even with their wings clipped. Is it possible to make it a little bit higher? Warm regards, Happy customers. Thankyou

I've kept a few garden hens for years and have always shied away from a (Ahem!) plastic hen house (not in my back garden!) However, we had a severe infestation of red mites, despite my best efforts to clean the house and sadly I suspect they did for one of my lovely Welsummers. Well, after long deliberations I finally bit the bullet and bought one of your Eglu Go Up coops, wheels and all. So glad I did! Arrived promptly, went together easily (though the fly nuts on the stand were a bit tricky but that might have been to do with the fact we put it together on a baking hot day). Chickens soon got used to the steps and seem happy. It is so easy to clean compared with a wooden hen house too! And I have to say that it looks good too and has been admired by many. I veritable palace! Thank you!

The coop was fairly easy to build, I was concerned about the ladder as it is quite steep, purchased for ex battery hens and I thought they may not manage it. I have had them 4 days tonight and they have all gone to bed on their own and I have had a couple of eggs laid in the nest. I also have Omlet fencing which I am really pleased with, it gives the girls a large space to roam.

A really great invention from the traditional Hen House to a more easy maintained product which allows hens , comfort , warmth and pest free. Love the idea of moving the house around to enable fresh "scratting" ground , which my Hen loves. She's been singing so much I know she's very happy ! And for a hen of 7 years old , she knows what she likes !!

1 Whilst the hens are happy, the roosting arrangement means that they sleep on their own droppings - some sort of perch would be a great improvement. 2. The droppings tray and grid are not easy to clean.

Easy to use and clean a little more difficult to put together than I imagined. Ladders are no good as chickens are not able to use them still after a month also came welded on a slant.

Very easy to clean. Only concern is that the nesting area is very shallow compared to the nesting boxes in our previous (more traditional) coop.

I've been wanting hens for years, however didn't want a stationary, wooden coop requiring extensive fencing reinforcements for my space available to allow "free ranging". I am so happy with the Eglu! The girls are secure inside the run fencing with skirt. The coop clean up is easy and very sanitary. My neighbor is enjoying the poop I scoop from the coop for her vegetable garden! I love the coop construction with the back door access to slide out the trays, easy open front​ door, and "Dutch door" to the run. I have a large fenced backyard and would love to let the girls wander about, but our many mountain predators are known to stalk and kill. Because the entire Eglu set up is on wheels and portable, I can move everything every few days to a new, fresh and exciting location knowing my girls are protected. This product is truly the answer to all my concerns about having hens.

I've had the Eglu Go up for a couple of months now, housing 3 white Sussex and a Dutch Bantam. Plenty of room in the coop, adequate in the run. I started letting them free range after 2 weeks and they are much happier wandering around at will. The coop had to be moved every 4 days as they damaged the lawn so quickly during their initial confinement. Assembly was a bit of a trial. Luckily I had help from family who had already bought 2 Eglus. I would never have managed otherwise. The instructions were somewhat of a puzzle, as we were reading from 2 different booklets! (That were supplied in the boxes). The run is fiddly to put together, requires real concentration and the clip placements drove me to a glass of wine! Love that the Eglu looks good iin the garden, green colour blends in and does not offend the neighbours. Easy to clean, no bending down. Feel comforted that the hens are less likely to contract disease and mites than if they were housed in wood. Sturdy and solid, waterproof, predator proof. Very pleased with my purchase. (Did not buy the wheels - could not afford another £50!) Fairly easy to drag to a new spot, even with the run attached.

The Eglu go Up is brilliant, it does exactly what it says on the label :) . I thoroughly recommend this product. I have three hens in the coup and they have plenty of room.
