Eglu Go Up - 2m Run

Brought this as a “chicken hospital/jail” for when we needed to separate out a sick or misbehaving chicken. It’s attached to the run so they can see their friends but still be safely apart. Perfect for what we needed. Just needs an auto door to take it to 5 stars

I have used our Go Up for several small groups of chickens from 2 to 4 and it serves very well, its not the easiest construction but one built it is light enough and small enough to be moved around the garden as required. As we have other Eglu Coops, ours now serves as a temporary hospital or isolation space but for small flocks this would be perfect. Only slight drawback is the inability to fit the autodoor

The taller run means I can clean them out better

I bought this nearly 2 years ago, and yes I wanted to give a true review in all seasons and conditions. Firstly its a lovely thing to look at and so easy to clean, it's easy to move around and I had a little trouble with a wheel, customer services immediately sent me not one but a new pair, no quibble. The chickens are warm inside in winter and cool in the summer. I have kept 4 large hens inside and there was good room for them. I love the fox proof (and it really is) skirt around the bottom of the run, we have had numerous fox kills here even with electric fencing but no way with this run!

I started keeping hens about 10 years ago, and as I love working with wood I built a lovely coop for my flock. However, as time went on i began to have issues with redmite, and this has become a constant battle. My wooden coop, although lovely to look at, was actually a haven for mites.... the shiplap timber etc gave them so many places to hide, and of course it was a nightmare to keep clean. I recently decided enough was enough and decided to take the plunge and buy and eglu go up. On arrival, unpacking the plastic parts from the boxes if im honest i wondered if i had done the right thing... however, set up was easy and once it was assembled and the hens were safely tucked up in bed i realized what a great bit of kit it is! I cant believe Ive struggled to keep a wooden coop clean all these years.... the eglu is so easy! Have to say within the space of a few days im totally sold, and only wish Id bought one years ago. The old wooden coop is going on the bonfire!
