You read that right; an Omlet Eglu Chicken House can keep your chickens clucking along happily and in good health. Why? There are several reasons. I’ll list them for you below.

Easy to cleanThe cleaner you can keep your chickens’ environment the healthier. The Eglu coops are so easy to clean it’s literally child’s play. All Eglus have a special droppings tray. This tray slides out so you can clean it easily a couple of times a week. As for cleaning the whole coop, all you have to do is open it up and hose it down. Fast, easy and hygienic.

Made of plastic

As all the material is plastic, you don’t have to worry about rotting, rust or even red mites. Are you aware that red mites can to other domestic pets as well? The mites will keep your chickens from producing their normal amount of eggs and can seriously harm their health. A serious infection will cause pecking, bleeding and loss of feathers.

Insulation

All Omlet Eglu chicken houses have a double walled construction for insulation. This insulation keeps your chickens cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Ventilation

Every chicken coop needs to be properly ventilated. However, ventilation is not the same as letting in a draft. Drafts should be avoided at all costs.  The Eglus come with an excellent draft free ventilation system.

PredatorsOmlet developed a special fox-resistant run to attach to the coop. It has been tested rigorously (can’t help but wonder how…) and has been proven to be fox and badger resistant.  The run is made out of steel welded mesh and has a 15cm skirt that prevents digging. It’s also a lot stronger than common chicken wire.

Fair enough, Egloo, and especially Eggloo, make more sense than Eglu. At least they do to me… But you have to admit that Omlet, the manufacturer of this funky hen house, has come up with a name as original as their product.

The Omlet Eglu chicken house proves that not all hen houses have to look like a run down shack. Not even close. The Eglu Go, Cube and Classic are all worthy of winning some sort of design price. Oh wait, they already have.

The Eggloo, darn … I keep writing it wrong, the Eglu chicken house is as easy to move around as it is to set up. That’s because it has wheels. If you’ve kept chickens before, you’ll now it’s important to give your chickens a patch of fresh grass once a while.

Even though it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, £350 is still a lot of money to spend on a hen house. If you absolutely have to have one, which I can totally understand, you can try to find a second-hand Egloo, I mean Eglu for sale on ebay.

And I’ve noticed they are selling like hot cakes (hot cakes with fresh eggs)…
