Redwing Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I read on another forum that Eglus are often stolen, it was in a thread that was a bit weighted towards wooden hen houses so may have been a scare tactic! Has anyone had any problems with this at all? It hasnt put me off my purchase but a heads up of potential problems would be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've only ever heard of it happening once; I wouldn't worry - they wouldn't be easy to nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I would have thought that all coops were at equal risk of theft. They're not exactly easy to carry off under your arm, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I guess they do have a relatively high resale value, and therefore potentially more attractive to steal; but most theft/burglaries are not carried out by, erm, highly organised and intelligent experts am not sure that this is so big a deal. Maybe - more likely to get nicked than some wooden coops but not that likely to be stolen at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It would be quite hard for my cube to be nicked- we deliberately made the gap between the run & the shed so that the cube can't be wheeled out, it has to be carried out sideways. I never have cause to move it out of its place anyway, so it's no trouble to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have only ever heard of one being stolen......and that was a good while ago. They would have to dismantle it and it will be tricky to fit over bicycle handle bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
