EGLU for sale (not mine)

Saw this second hand EGLU on Facebook this morning (it's not mine for sale) Nottingham area incase anyone was looking.

No proper perches, so the plastic racks they sleep on in their own droppings are hard to clean; very poor ventilation; three hens is a squash; if used with a low attached run it's impossible to get in and catch a bird or pick up poo from the floor. Possibly useful as a broody coop or a short-term emergency isolation unit. I once had an Eglu Classic, the original design, but gave it away in the end as I couldn't sell it and didn't have room to store it once I'd come to my senses and got something bigger.

Must admit, Marigold, that I would not want this for my hens, but believe some people like them. It looks quite small, too. I guess they are easy to clean, being pvc?

After the heavy torrential rain at the weekend, I know my wooden coop is water proof, thanks to having a keen DIY hubbie ;-) He's even made the nestbox deeper, by extending it. Cindy has decided she likes it now, so lays her egg in there. Barbie still lays hers on the floor... 07
