Sooo much pooping

[Redwing]

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.

I've only ever heard of it happening once; I wouldn't worry - they wouldn't be easy to nick.

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?

[chickenanne]

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.

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.

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.
