very informative … very informative and well done! The chicken looks really happy and sound. Doesn’t look very hard at all and fresh eggs everyday sounds great!
As a potential … As a potential chicken/ Eglu owner this is eggsactly what I wanted to see. Very informative and so easy even a child can do it. Thank-you for your effort.
If you’re going to … If you’re going to get chickens, search for a winter hardy breed. Some breeds are better suited to the cold than others; it simply depends on the type =]
hi there, cute vid! … hi there, cute vid! woz wonderin, i have a couple of chicks, which are a month old, i think one is a hen the othr mite be a , how can i tell the gender? and how old wud they have to be to have a brood of their own and is there any way in which i cud get them broody? look forward to your reply, thanx!
I envy your … I envy your chickens - they live in a modern, clean, beautiful 21st century home! I wish my home was that nice. Why are people complaining? This is a fantastic product show-casing what industrial design can do (remember how Apple changed people’s perceptions of the personal computer in the 90s, anyone?!)
Less germs.
Less … Less germs.
Less risk of red mites and other harmful mites and bugs.
Better protection against foxes.
No leaking.
I can’t see why you all seem to think eglus are so bad.
We have both a wooden house and an eglu, and both of them are left open all day for the chickens to go into, and every time they go into the eglu.
If they prefer it then I have no problem with it.
It does look easy … It does look easy to clean, but for me thats the only benefit of plastic. Insects and pathogens, meh, everyone cleans and treats dont they?
Splinters, lol, your chickens dont free roam around the garden then? Mine climb trees and bushes.
Its an enviromental disaster in the making, if you can live with that, fine.
Nope, mine works … Nope, mine works perfectly, and I’m very pleased with the product. However, I think that a wooden ark isnt actually safer for chickens - wood can splinter, and is also a lot more difficult to clean thoroughly, so can harbour insects and pathogens.
Anythings better … Anythings better than battery, whos talking about battery?
Woods better than plastic for us all.
A wooden ark is safer and more enviromentally friendly than an earth resource destroying eglu.
Eglu have managed to sucker a lot of people out of a lot of money for a badly thought out enviromentally damaging product.
BTW Does yours leak?, many a story on the web about leaking and fitting together badly
Compared to the … Compared to the conditions that battery hens live in the eglu is like a castle for the chickens.
Plastic isn’t natural, I agree, but it’s safer for the chickens, and they get on just fine.
They’re well looked after and loved.
And they’re free range.
They’re not locked up all day.
They’re not under any pressure.
excellent, just as … excellent, just as good as an eglu then but with the additional benefit of looking a lot better in the garden
have you heard of this new type of material we have called timber? im yet to try it, apparently its very natural and can be processed from trees would you believe!
Im depressed for … Im depressed for your chickens living in their plastic housing. How unnnatural for them, do your eggs taste of plastic? How long will it take to bio degrade? Why not use a fisher price tractor turned upside down instead as it would look just as attractive in the garden?

I give it a thorough clean once a week, but you could probably do a minor clean every week and a major clean every two.
