Customer Reviews

We had considered getting a normal chicken ark or similar but decided that they were expensive (£150+), keep requiring treating and difficult to clean. As a result, we selected going for an eglu Cube which although they are 3-4 times the price it will last 10+ times longer than a timber one, not require annual treating. It takes approximately 2 hours to put together but is relatively easy. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars are: no removable tray in the nesting box which makes it harder to clean, the Grub and Glug containers have hooks on the reverse which are not long enough meaning that it is too easy for the chickens to knock off, and thirdly, the ladder ends approximately 1 foot off the ground which is fine for 'able' chickens but for battery chickens, as we have, they don't have the strength or understanding to be able to jump or fly up - perhaps a ladder extension should be available for purchase? Overall though, very pleased with our puchase and exceptional customer service from Omlet.

the eglu is excellent and has improved from the last one i had its so much easier to clean

I was worried that our chickens would not get the hang of this new item but they have done, and, it so good as the water stays clean!

Wonderful,these roosting bars make the weekly 'Hens Housework 'so much easier during the winter months. My feathery Darlings love them and that is what matters

Excellent product can see my ladies being happy. Although i thought shade was a wee bit short.

i don't know if the clips go weak by the time or if our chicks are so strong, but to my own surprise (and my ex's surprise too - they live in his garden) our chickens broke out of the run by somehow smashing the clip to get the gate open and get out in snow - and i thought they would be better in run so they feet don't get cold.

I am most impressed with my cube. My hens took to it straight away. Because I needed to put it behind my shed I found that the fox proof guard at the sides would have been better hinged like the front and back. The door could be a bit bigger, I find it hard to get in to clean the ladder etc. A perch of some kind would be nice for the chickens to sit on which I have had to buy it lifts them off the grass and gives them a break from each other.

So much better than the wooden ones!

I'm very happy with my cube, a very simple and attractive design with good construction drawings, but found some of the tolerances of the molded panels to be tight and need a lot of force to be able to line up for the installation of fixings and the roof panel does not fit as well as I would have liked with larger gaps at the front than the rear, I think most woman and some men would struggle to construct the cube this is why have have given it a 4 star rating.

A great improvement on the wooden bars, easier to clean and dry especially in the recent bad weather. No complaints from the hens either!
