Really happy with this so far.
It was important for us to have something easy to clean and mobile. We liked the look of the larger omlet coops, but were hesitant to spend the big bucks as first time chicken owners. In hindsight, might have been better to bite the bullet as we will likely get a larger one anyway!
This fits our three orpingtons well. Took about 5 hours to setup, we got the 3m run. It came with a cover which was a nice surprise.
Not the biggest fan of the nesting area as the chooks tend to sleep in there and tehere is no divider. They aren't laying yet but I see poopy eggs in the future.
Also is tricky to get into the run space to grab the girls when needed. I've seen that both these issues have been sorted in the larger models with extra access doors and seperate nesting areas.

This is our 3rd Eglu, planned as quarantine or temporary jail as needed. We have 8 hybrid chickens, 4 at 2.5 yrs, and 4 just laying so each cohort has own house and free range in sequence. Eglus are warm so they lay year around, but we have added custom uv resistant transparent covers over the 2m pens against Southland weather allowing ventlation at ground level. Each coop moves easily to fresh lawn grass daily, with droppings collected for our garden. Great support given from Appletons for the odd replacment parts needed.

Fantastic shelter for my chickens, love it.. Great service as rang directly rather than ordering onsite, arrived very fast when it arrived new stock arrived.

Great Instructions. Very easy to assemble. It is easy to move and the chooks love it.
Easy cleaning.
Could not have got a better chook house.

I love my Pod chook house and especially with it being so easy to clean, makes life so much easier and my chooks love their secure house. Great purchase thank you.

Perfect for backyard chickens. We can move the coop every couple of days so they have a fresh area and the grass isn’t destroyed

This is our second eglu - bought in haste after we brought in more hens and the 'traditional' wooden henhouse, which had been empty for some weeks and then, as we thought thoroughly cleaned - turned out to be infested with red mites. Okay, everyone says it has been a bad season. However, the first eglu, right next door to it, was dismantled and inspected with a torch and magnifying glass and found to be totally mite free! What's not to like? Well, perhaps the instruction booklets, which seem to have been translated, from the original langauge by someone who might have paid more atrention. The diagrams are great though and after a day's work (not the three and half hours mentioned), it was up. Worth noting though that the graphics in the instructions suggest that it's a job for 1.5 people. An 'other-ender' is handy.

What a service - from being ordered to delivery - I had this within 4-5days - very prompt service. Followed the online video to put it together. My husband and I did this together and it was very simple to follow step by step. The chicken are yet to arrive but I am very excited to see them housed and using their new environment. Thank you Appletons and I know that I will purchase some more accessories to go with it.

Can't wait to get chickens for our new chicken house. Great customer service. Thank you Appletons!

Our Eglu Go Up arrived very quickly. Well within the delivery dates which was brilliant. I had to wait for my husband & son to put it together. They “wanted to do this for me” as I have a bad back. I pointed out I could do it happily, but no, they wanted to do it. I love the colour. It’s more of a pinky purple. My role was to lay the parts out and hand screws and ties when needed. I also watched the videos from other owners the night beforehand. Very useful. I’m more of a “show me how to” rather than a read the instructions person.
An hour, I discovered, is the limit, my husband and his 23 year old son can work on a flat pack project together. Even with snacks & drinks provided.
The coop, with run extension, took three nights to construct. With handles. It is a wonderful thing to behold. I love it. It has been sitting in the garden now for two weeks and this evening my bantam chicks arrive. We miscalculated their hatching, but all good. 10 little black frizzy things. From there we should get 4-5 little girls. The boys go back to the farm… for breeding. Not eating!
So far so good.
P.S. we get wild quail around our place, I saw them around the Eglu the other morning. Eyeing it up as a home maybe?

While I love the product it does live up to the reviews of being slow and painful to assemble. Once done it’s great and my 4 chickens quickly made it home. Wish the run was as bigger as really too small for the capacity of the coop. Yes you can spend a fortune paying for additional run but the chickens aren’t suppose to take years to pay off. It was ok for us as we have it inside a larger run for most days when we can let them roam more freely. I set it up on a ridiculously windy day and it was extremely protected in the coop so that was great.

I love this its excellent to keep clean and easy to move them around hey are happy in their nesting box-no problem with the ladder It was tricky to put together not impossible but does take time- I definitely recommend Youtube tutorial

Eglu Go UP is a premium coop for a few special chickens. I have both the Go UP and the Eglu Cube. The Eglu Cube is very specious but I needed to get the Go UP as mixing 2 chicken species turned out disastrous for one of our new birds.

The assembly of Go UP was very similar to constructing the Cube. Having built the Cube already, assembly went smoothly. I am very particular so it took me about 4 hours to fully assemble including the run needing to get all the clips in exactly the rows indicated in the manual.

The amount of space is great both under the coop and inside. The run fencing is good and will protect the chickens at night.

Cleaning is easy. Just remove the back of the coop, then the trey, dump the dropping, and hose down any remains.

The reason for a 4 star, is that I would improve the method for fixing the artificial laying area (uses 4 pins). I really like how the laying area is done in the Cube. Also, I like the Cube's water tray and would prefer that over the Go UP's water tray.

Otherwise, this is a great coop for up to 4 chickens (I have 3 for this coop).

First up: Appletons are great to deal with! We got the Eglu Go Up with an extra metre of enclosure and covers so that both bits have shade or rain cover. We were thinking: ready-made "chicken-tractor". Not quite, but we're happy with it as an attractive flat lawn home for our small flock. Coop is easy to clean, plus with the double-skin walls muffle night time noise while keeping our chooks cosy. Great to quarantine lively new flock arrivals, too. Some design improvement for better access to some areas is possible, which we'll share with Appletons in email. Loving fresh eggs and the sweet chookie characters. They sure get a kick out of flitting from the top of the stairs out of their coop into the run area. Enjoy!

Excellent product!
Very easy to assemble and I am excited to introduce my chooks tomorrow.

It is a good quality coop and enclosure. Very neat. It was a bit fiddly to put together and some details were not on the instructions.

Overall, really happy with the purchase. The coop arrived well packaged and was relatively simple to put together. The most tricky part was the run and took the longest to figure out especially all those clips. We also needed to obtain extra cable ties. We followed videos on youtube rather than using the instructions booklet which was complicated. My young chicks took a few days to figure out how to go up and down the ladder but they are happily settled in now. Will have to see how the egg-laying goes as currently, they sleep and poop mostly in the nesting area. I also added the run extension as otherwise, the run area is too small for adult chickens if they cannot be let out daily. With the run extension, the coop is a bit tricky to move and its best to have 2 people for it. Cleaning is pretty easy due to the smooth plastic surface. It's great that everything can be hosed down. The coop is also very cosy for the chicks; they fall asleep very quickly. What is missing is more protection from the elements; the sun cover is too small and not really protective, I'm using a larger cloth. I will also need to buy the rain cover eventually.

We love our Eglu Go Up with extension and so do our chooks. So easy to move around weekly and also very easy to clean. Keeps our chooks snug at night.

Pretty much as the title says. Very good communication with the purchase and the coop arrived quickly. As we had ummed and ahhed about buying an Eglu coop for more than a year (and had watched countless videos online about it) we were expecting it to be a little tricky to put together. It's actually VERY tricky in places and relatively easy in others. Some parts just do not line up at all (ie the roof part of the run that slots into the coop). And those little double clips are really stiff... Even after soaking. It took two of us a solid day and a number of arguements to put together the whole thing LOL! But once up it looks great and is a good fit in our urban backyard. Perfect for three chickens, although four would be ok too. We're very glad we bought the 1 metre extension as otherwise it really would be very small. Overall it's a terrific product and my husband is a total fan of the super quick cleaning! Easy for the children to do as well, and a huge improvement on our old wooden coops.

Fell in love with product online. Disappointed as original product which arrived was defunct, company sent replacement part but took the shine off my excitement. No compensation etc offered just correct piece delivered.

Eglu Go Up Chicken Coop

My coop arrived very well packaged. My 13 year old son and I assembled it. He found the instructions easy to follow. The most fiddly part was the run as the clips were a bit tricky to put on. Overall very happy though and would recommend this product.

I was impressed by the following: Very fast delivery Good instruction manuals Neat design, no fitting or assembly issues at all, but I hate the double clips! Overall very good service and product - thanks Guys!

My husband and I received and started to put our Go Up coop together today. We are very pleased with it as it is mostly together and will be a great improvement on the draughty, wooden coop our three hens are in at the moment. and so much easier to keep clean. I hope the hens will be as excited as me with their new home.Thank you for the prompt delivery and a great product.
