If you’re interested in keeping chickens, there’s a big chance you’ve come across words like Eggloo, Egloo and Eglu. Two of those are misspellings (although pretty funny ones). So it’s not an Eggloo Chicken House but an Eglu Chicken House.
The Eglu is made by a company called Omlet (you have to admire them for coming up with these names). It comes in 3 different models; Go, Classic and Cube. All 3 are made of recycled plastic (polyethylene if you’re interested). This actually makes it more ecological than a wooden shed as they last a lot longer.
Depending on which model you choose you can house 2 to 10 chickens in an Egloo Chicken House, I mean Eglu Chicken Coop. The run you can buy with the coop can be extended. Which in my opinion is necessary if you can’t let your chickens free range in your garden every day.
All models come in a variety of funky models and are movable. They have wheels, so putting them someplace else in your garden is childs play.
Omlet offers more than just chicken houses though. You can have your Egloo Chicken House, darn, there I go again, Eglu Chicken House delivered with 2 chickens. They also offer lots of advice and chicken keeping courses for the newbies. You can even contact them to have your chickens wings clipped.
I think the people at Omlet realize the price for an Eglu is quite hefty. Which is probably why they set up a program where you can visit people who already own one. That way, you can get a hands on feel of the Eglu and ask the owners about the pros and cons.
Omlet also offers a 30 day money back guarantee. So you have a full 30 days to try it out without having to worry about the money if you don’t like it.
If you really want one but can’t afford to cough up the retail price, you can get them second hand as well. The Eglu Classic seems to be easier to find than the Eglu Cube though. Take a look at the Omlet forum and auction sites like eBay.
One big pro is the fact that an Eglu is low maintenance. Cleaning it can be as easy as hosing it down with the garden hose (preferably when the chickens are roaming around elsewhere). You don’t have to worry about red mite, rain and rotting wood either.
If you live in a place with a lot of predators like foxes, you’ll be happy to know the Eglu Chicken House and run are supposedly fox-proof. No more worrying in the morning whether you’ll be greated by a scene out of the Chainsaw Massacre when you go feed the chickens.
They also claim that the Eglu is a low maintenance chicken house, so you may make your money back in less time spent in cleaning out your chicken house.
The company also provides some funny looking accessories to complement your Eglu. An all weather shade (to protect your chickens from sun, wind and rain), a food and water tray, free chicken feed and even a chicken keeping book. You’re bound to give away some eggs, so they also give you 10 free egg boxes.
