Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Welcome to the forum . I only have a Classic so can't really comment on the Go but they really aren't tiny . I have had 5 fairly large ladies sleeping quite happily in mine with room to spare . I think it probably comes down to price and which shape you prefer.

jrsankanu Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 thanks advised with kidsgo is best but i think i like the sound of the classic looks easier and you dont need to crawl in to get to the eggs! also can clean from above . cost is slightly more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I have a classic and decided to go for that as I preferred the look. Plus it is slightly bigger than the go. I agree with previous post that they aren't that small, I was surprised when mine arrived how big it was I agree this would be a better option for younger birds, plus it is a lot cheaper than the cube.

Tweety Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I asked this question specifically in relation to chicks, and was advised on the forum that the Go is much better for them than the classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsankanu Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Doesn't look as easy to clean or get eggs out though ( the go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00lz_12366 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I have a Go and I cant comment on the Classic but I am not having any problems cleaning-the rooster bars and poo tray slide out, or taking the eggs out-you just reach in either end-I find it easier to open the big back door just because of the way my Go is sited..

chuckmum6 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I own a cube (the best) and a classic, I have had a look at a Go and wasn't impressed with the quality of it, it was flimsy compared to the others. Why not keep with a cube, you can always add more hens, which you won't be able to do with a classic or Go. The cube is very easy to clean too, much more gentel on your back. Get a cube!!!!

Plum Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Agree get a cube if you can, Morehens disease will strike before long. I've had 3 sleeping in the cube over winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52fish Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We 're new to keeping chickens and had intended to go for something smaller, but plumped for the cube. 2 weeks in and no regrets - glad we got the extra space - 2 more chickens joining our flock in the summer as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to look into getting a mortgage for them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
