“I always hesitate when buying on line, but I had nothing to worry about with this site, not only did they ring to confirm my order, but also they confirmed delivery service on a day that suited me and times that were very reasonable. So with that in mind, now for the actual item(s), well it was delivered as I said at a time that suited, in large sealed, well packed secure boxes. ( being that I ordered 2 hutches and 2 runs, there were a few boxes) They are made from good treated wood, the frames were not flimsy at all, and all was marked so made assembling it very easy. ( usually hate Flat pack) It took a few hours to put both together, but if you only have one I would say, with 2 of you an hour would be fine. There were extra screws just in case you lost any ( which we did, in the grass...doh) Our chickens love their new home and settled in very fast, even out duck thinks he is now in heaven. I would highly recommend these hutches/runs as they not only are great value for money ( we did our compared search in great detail, right down to postage) but a great service from this online company. I will certainly be buying from them again as and when we need an upgrade.”

“I recently bought a "Windsor on wheels" hen house with extension. My ex bat hens haven't arrived yet so I can only write of my own experience. Very pleased generally. Well packed, well identified nuts and bolts etc. The description and diagram could have been a bit clearer but having said that we managed it apart from 1 piece of wood left and we're not sure where that should go. The other thing is the clips that keep the extension attached to the main run fit ok when attaching but as soon as you move it all, the ground is obviously uneven and they won't lock so I'm going to look for bolts that might be a bit more flexible. We didn't feel you could put the handle at the end of the extension as it is much to heavy and awkward to move and would probably damage a part of it so we attached the handle to the open end of the main run (which does fit in side frame) so basically move the house/run first and then attach extension each time. I think this won't take a minute to do. The house drags a bit unless you lift it quite high on the wheels so I hope the girls will have a good grip! Maybe it was made for a perfect lawn but I don't have one and I imagine it will only get worse once the girls have scratched it up. Unless you are letting the hens out of the run everyday for a few hours (we have lots of foxes in our area, day and night) I think you definitely need an extension and would definitely not keep 8 hens. I'm only rescuing 5 and the hen welfare thought this would be ok.”

“The chicken coup arrived promptly as promised, unfortunately the package had been damaged and three parts had to be replaced. We sent email photos of the damaged parts and they arrived the next day. Assembly was easy, plans could have been clearer, the only real problem was the locating holes for the handles on one end was in the wrong place and needed re drilling. The perches keep falling out due to the supports not being deep enough. Despite the problems we are pleased with our purchase and service.”

“Absolutely happy with the product. Easy to construct and the chickens love it. My only piece of feedback is that on your website there is a count down for next day delivery. I managed to get in with minutes to spare. Then came a phone call for the delivery in three days time!”

“A brilliant little house for our new chickens. I had done a lot of research and this was by far the best quality, size and price available. We bought the house without the run as my husband built a run around it. Delivery was Tuesday morning after ordering Sunday night. Couldn't have asked for more!”

“I felt that this coop was very well made and good quality. It did not take that long for the 2 of us to put it together either. Prior to writing the review though I wanted to use it for a few months so I could provide proper feedback. So the size is great. We have 3 large hybrid chickens and this is great for them. It would fit maybe one more but I would seriously suggest buying an extra run, especially if you will not be allowing them to roam free range. The unit is very secure and we have already had foxes attempt to get in and they where not successful - which is great news. I find it easy to clean and collect eggs. All products will have some negatives and I have found that the run going up to the coop is weak and after moving the coop a few times came loose. As such it now has to be fixed on after every move - although this has not proved difficult, just frustrating that it only lasted about a month before breaking. Not well though out and maybe it should be on a more flexible hinge! Also I have now noticed some mold starting to appear on the outside of the coop and underneath the roof on the outer section. As the wood was meant to have been treated this is not a good sign but hoping we can resolve this ourselves. These are my only negatives and so far the product has proved sturdy.”

“Great speed of delivery & my order was confirmed by phone within 12 hours. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong item. There is a fairly brusque person on the end of their phone but they did sort it out very quickly. I'm pleased with the product.”

“Highly recommend this company and their products to anybody. I ordered the Windsor Chicken Coup on wheels; magnificent, easy to assemble and very practical. We are keeping rabbits in it providing them with plenty of room. Customer service is second to none. Thanks Eggshell. Terry - Somerset”

“Absolutely thrilled so far! A great range of products at fantastic prices on an easy-to-use website. I needed my coop delivering between specific dates and that wasn't a problem. My husband and I built the coop and not an argument in sight! The coop is solid and substantial enough to house my girls in luxury whilst coping with our coastal weather. Having said that, it was still easy to move and position. The girls move into it tomorrow, so we just have to see what they think!”

“Really pleased with my Coop - The Stables XL. Prompt delivery as all other reviews stated. The instructions took a short time to work out, but once they were fathomed out it was soon put together. My husband and father in law (who assembled the coop) were both very impressed with the quality - high praise indeed!! The coop looks a good size for the bantams we are getting and I like the idea of being able to add an extra run if we decide to later. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying.”

“Eggcellent well priced product! Sturdy and the hens seem to love it! I've given a 4 star rating only because some of the instructions could have been a bit clearer to build it and had us scratching our heads foe a few minutes. If you have no problem with building things, then most probably a 5! Thank you for a well priced product.”

“The service was quick, the hen house good quality and easy to put together and the removable tray to facilitate cleaning very handy. My only two criticisms would be that the perches are a bit too narrow for the cups they sit in so are constantly falling off when the hens move about. They just needed to be a bit wider so they fitted snuggly but at the same time still being removable. I also found that the wheels don't move freely once attached to the house and rubbed against blocks so wheeling the hen house didn't happen. However there are two handles either end of the house so with two people, the house is very easy to move being light. It would also be useful to have a fox proof lock for the removable tray at both ends of the house - one is provided and is very useful but it provide me with more peace of mind to secure the tray at both ends.”
