Thoughts on Eglu coops

[PastaChickenBoo]

So I've been looking at some coops made by the British company Eglu - ya know, those small plastic coops with mesh runs? Do you think they are a good idea, or should I get something else or build a coop?

Build a coop.

Build a coop.

Can you please elaborate and tell me why?

 

[eggbert420]

I can build 5 of these for $800. Or I can buy 1 eglu for $900

What about the quality? I'm not focused on cost yet, just quality and how many chickens it can hold

 

[eggbert420]

I can't say. You might want to check their website

I did. It seems good but I hope that someone with an Eglu soon says something in the thread

Can you go inside the eglue run to clean it. They look to be only about 3-4' tall.

Yea I also think their runs are quite short. I guess you'd have to crawl in or something unless you got the walk in run

Did you end up getting an Eglu? I am also interested in their coops and looking for feedback!!
