Good Points
Really liked Eglu's introduction of the gray plastic perch bar segments a while back; big improvement over the original wooden perches and so much easier to clean. We keep the old wooden ones as emergency backups.

Bad Points
None! This is really a brilliant design for urban chicken keeping and we have a tiny urban yard in upstate NY so we've tested it pretty thoroughly!

General Comments
Have had an Eglu for over two years; totally impervious to "varmints" and very easy to clean. We keep ours on a slab of concrete, so we just rake out old bedding, hose the slab clean, let it dry for a couple of hours and then put in new bedding. Used it as a portable chicken tractor for the first summer we had it, and it worked great, but eventually decided to give it a permanent position.
