“Its a great little hutch, ideal for our 2 guinea pigs. The only things to improve it would be a hinge on the roof so you can lift it to add/remove hay and bedding. The slide out tray is brilliant but you have to open the little door on the front to remove all the big bedding, otherwise it either jams the tray or falls onto the grass. The 2nd thing to improve it would be a sliding door to go across the top of the ramp. Our chicken coup has one (also from you) and I assumed this would too. Our pigs are babies and I would like to be able to shut them up top at night. Also they would be warmer/draught free come the winter if there was a door. Easy to put together, quite sturdy and quick delivery. Just waiting for a cover as it was out of stock.”

“No problems with any part of the order. The hen house was easy to assemble.”

“There are brilliant things about the Betty on wheels hen house and pen and then some bad aspects. The side opening door easily falls off its hinges when you open it (my land is not flat) and there is a big gap (draughts) either side of it. It is a roomy house but the perches are on a slant and the nest boxes are above them in height so you know where the chickens are going to sleep! Definitely needs rectifying. If you fit another nest box in place of the opening door (nest boxes fit well) then you have no entrance into the house to catch chickens or whatever. If it only had a back opening door as well this aspect would be perfect but not of course if it fits badly! The pen has wooden roof support in the middle and one side arrived with the nail in it already broken. It should be packed more carefully and marked up as fragile. Then there is the aspect of the pop door which with the pen fitted cannot be accessed (we used string etc to solve the problem) . Apparently the automatic door system is fitted inside (was going to get it but don't see how I could operate it!). Not sure how this works but every time you want to change it you would have to reach inside and disconnect it or something and if you fitted the second nest box then no entry. The pen prevents you fitting one outside. Of course if you don't use the pen then no problem. Overall compared with other houses I have bought I am pleased with it and no doubt we can modify it over time. Just such a shame that such a roomy house has not been better thought out. The poorly fitting door makes you think they expect you to have another next box which would be great if you still had access to the house! In its favour it seems to be robust and unlikely to get blown over and the wheels and handles make it easier to move although I can't manage by myself as I had hoped. However our ground is sloping and uneven so on a level surface perhaps I could!”

“I really do like these Egg Shell hen houses... and so do my hens. I bought the Granary model and I was impressed how easy it was to construct. So impressed that I have just purchased a second one. Excellent communications and delivery by the supplyer. I would recommend these to anyone.”

“I'm pleased with my chicken house. As expected It's cheap and cheerful and should last a couple of years. I'm liking the side access panel for easy cleaning, much better access than my last one. Having had this type of house before we have added some extra screws when building and have put the feet on levelled slabs to try and keep it square as our last house warped a bit. The only bad point was the courier, I had to wait in all day for it and when it arrived the box was damaged and inside a few bits had broken, but nothing to prevent it being built.”

“Never had such prompt service. Telephone confirmation of order and delivery straight away. Delivery next day. Erection of house quite easy and really pleased with quality for price. I wish I had brought the extra run as single run just a little small. My hens are used to free range. A daytime fox visit meant I needed to move them from the house they were in in veg garden to lawn by house. Have four remaining hens and this new house will take a couple more if they can range. Happy with purchase and would recommend.”

“The finished article looks great. It is firm , sturdy and good value. The delivery was amazing I could choose a day for delivery. The assembly directions are a bit vague (fortunately I am good at puzzles) the construction of the nest box was the hardest to work out.”

“Great service paid for delivery 3 to 5 days received order in 2 days. Hen house was really easy to put together, instructions easy to follow, it took me 1 hour to have it all together. I was really in pressed by the screws and nut and bolts in bags with letter coding to match the instructions. Great product really made well,.”

“I was a bit disappointed at first with the quality/finish or the article but it was quite substantial once together and it looks good. There were one or two screws that "missed the mark" and we had to reinsert these. There ought to be screws to hold the roosting bars in place as they move about and so we did this. It did go together very easily and the chooks do love it now.”

“Excellent service from Eggshell. Ordering was easy and after a phone call from a very helpful man, the chicken coop was delivered the next day. The coop is made well and I was impressed with the quality. After a couple of coats of paint, we put it together at the weekend and it looks lovely. There was only one snag. We had ordered an extra wire run. This was out of stock so was sent a roofed run instead. Attaching 2 roofs was a pain and we had to use a saw, bolts and a bit of imagination. All good in the end.”

“A very good chicken coop- the only improvement would be a more comprehensive instruction sheet in a larger format with more gdaphic precise drawings”

“Bought to replace our old coop/run. Not as tall as we had hoped but seems a sturdy construction. Our laydees are not living in it yet, I've just finished weather-proofing it. As our girls are free-range it is only needed for roosting and egg laying so should suit the purpose very well. One small criticism...it was missing the nuts required to build the nest box so a trip to the local hardware store was needed.”

“Very quickly despatched. Simple instructions. Very good quality coop though quite small. My rabbit loves it! Took me 4 hours to assemble but I enjoyed the challenge! Would definitely order from Eggshell again. Thank you.”

“I needed a reasonably priced hen house quickly for 2 new chickens that arrived at my door. The Lodge was perfect. I had a follow up phone call the morning after ordering and delivery was arranged. It arrived when promised and was true to the picture. I thought the nesting boxes were a bit small but the chickens saw no such problem and have laid every day during their transition. There are many situations when this house is perfect. Great value.”
