Omlet Eglu for chickens & rescue chickens.

I am looking to getting a chicken house and a few rescue battery chickens in my garden.
I have had chickens and ducks before, but didnt have them enclosed and the garden was basically mud and poop! I loved having them, they were such characters (I had a chicken that used to come in through the dog flap and pinch the cat food and then sit on my lap and watch TV with me ) and the eggs were wonderful!
What I am asking is.........Does anyone have any experience of the Omlet products? Are they good for both chickens and humans?
I had wooden houses before and had terrible trouble with redmite! The plastic Omlet houses, you can hose down etc. Which seems good.

It is a very expensive product! But if it is worth it, my credit card may be smoking!

Any advice welcome!

My wife's sister's husband erm...that'll be my brother in law then.

Anyway. He has an elglu for their chickens. He has built a large wood and chicken wire area for them to save the garden but they've used the eglu (but now without the wire extension) for about 5 years and seem to like it.

I have chickens, but not an Eglu - I hear they are very good though.
