The Eglu has arrived, and after a little more than an hour, I was able to put it together and move the girls in.I was really impressed with the way the packaging was handled... the Omlet folks have done a splendid job with the product design. The only nits to pick are with the instructions on how to set things up, and the expectation for how long it'll take.
The instructions start with the sentence "Assembling the eglu and run - this shouldn't take much more than 20 minutes and is very simple."
Very simple? Yes.
20 minutes? No. Not even. Maybe if you've been putting these things together for years and are racing a fellow employee for bragging rights you can do it in 20 minutes, but for the average Joe (or Thomas as the case may be)... plan on an hour.
The handy "The Omlet Guide" included with the eglu was surprisingly informative and entertaining in addition to instructional regarding how to set up the 'glu.
In all, I'm very pleased with our purchase. But I already miss hearing the girls' cheep cheep as I type my blog. Hope they're sleeping safe and sound in their new eglu.

I had seen this adverstised and have been eager to learn how well it works. I always must have chickens so if we ever move to smaller quarters, I'll know what to do.
