Bwak Bwak Bwak Bawk: The Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop

Disclosure: The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop  was received from Omlet,  for review purposes only. All thoughts and words in this post are my own and I was not paid to endorse it. I am only voicing my opinion about this product.

It’s no secret to our regular readers that I’m a nut when it comes to animals.  I love them.  I’ve had dogs and cats, guinea pigs, mice, turtles, love birds a conure and a pot bellied pig. While growing up, we always had dogs and cats, and while living on 17 acre’s, a Prairie Dog along with the neighbors cows and horses. What I haven’t had yet are chickens, and I’ve wanted backyard hens for as long as I can remember.  Now my dream will be coming true!  Thanks to Omlet, the makers of the Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop… before you know it I’ll be collecting fresh eggs each day!

The Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop

So what makes an Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop so special? “The latest Eglu to join the collection, the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop makes keeping chickens easy and fun. This plastic chicken house comes with optional wheels, making it easy to move, and the fox-resistant chicken run is extendable to give hens even more room. Easy to clean and insulated, the Eglu Go UP is a superb hen house for up to four birds.”

The coop can be purchased alone, or with a 2mm run, 3mm run…with or without wheels. I received a coop in Leaf Green with Wheels and a 2mm run.

About Omlet – the makers of the Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop

It all started in 2003 when four friends met at the Royal College of Art in London. They designed a revolutionary new chicken house which made it simpler to keep chickens in gardens. It looked rather like an igloo and in a moment of punning genius that would define the next generation of chicken keepers, they named it the Eglu and an icon was born. Since then Omlet’s designs have delighted thousands of pets and their owners around the world through their uncompromising attention to detail and innovative ideas.

Putting the Eglu Go UP Togethger

The coop arrived about a week ago.  It came in 3 boxes, ready for assembly.  My son, helped me (well if I’m totally honest – he did most of the work), put it together.  After a couple of bumps in the road, I had myself a chicken coop!  So what were those bumps you ask?

First, several of the coops that Omlet has to offer, have the same parts.  Each box included instructions.  (In addition, I found a YouTube video with assembly directions.) Once we realized why the video and written instructions didn’t sync, we were back on track. This was totally a USER MISTAKE!

Second, many of the nuts and bolts did not want to cooperate.  The bolts were just a fraction larger than they should be (or if you want to look at it from another standpoint, the nuts were just a fraction smaller than they needed to be.) After some not so nice words muttered under our breath and a smashed knuckle,  the decision was made to go to the hardware store, and for $2 bucks our problem was resolved. THIS WAS THE FAULT OF THE MAUFACTURER OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS.

By the way, the Eglu Go UP also come in purple.

Special Features:

So excited that the coop is here and put together.  Stay tuned!

  • The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop looks like great chicken coop. It is to bad you had to go to the hardware store but at least it was only a couple dollars to fix the manufacture mistake. I really love the idea of having fresh eggs for breakfast. Thanks for sharing the chicken coop and your honest opinion.

  • How great is THAT!? I grew up with chickens in the yard. Would so love to have them again. Nothing beats fresh eggs. That looks like a great way to keep chickens safe from predators which is a huge problem where I live now. Of course, my HOA is a huge problem too. 🙁

    Reply
  • Now that is pretty cool. When I was a child we raised chickens and it was so much fun and we always had fresh eggs more than we could eat ourselves. I guess that is why we always did so much baking with all those extra eggs.

  • If we were allowed to have chickens here, I’d like something like this. Of course, my three rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds would likely stress them out, so perhaps it’s good we can’t have them.

    Reply
