Omlet eglu.

[Dutch bantam 1]

Hi all,
I am in need of advice on omlet's eglu range.
I am purchasing an eglu go up 3m run and wheels...
Are these coops strong and would you recommend them?
Even if you have a different model would you recommend it?
Many thanks, Alfie

Late to this thread, sorry sorry!
We have our Eglu Cube 2m run hooked to a 10'x10' dog kennel with roof. We have 7 hens + 1 roo in this setup, and they insist on sleeping in the Cube, despite having another coop available for them. No bantams, all standards. They free range under our supervision (hawks).

This is very helpful. I just ordered the eglu cube with the extended 13 ft run. I have 8 pullets though so I've been worried it's too small. They're standard size. Hmmm... With a run that size would it work?

I would definitely give them extra run!
The "silkie pen" has 4 standard size birds in it with the extended run, and they are at capacity. The coop can handle more, but not that run!
