The problem is that the upper door cannot easily open wide because it hits the handle. This could be solved by fixing the handles lower down, but we did our best to follow th einadequate instructions.

work well, and would be good for tent guy ropes.

They come ready to place them inside my birds cage. It makes your life easier when the moment to clean comes and it’s made of paper which is pet friendly

My two hens weren’t happy in their home built coop, so my lovely daughter shouted me the Omlet Eglu Cube. Unfortunately she didn’t stick around to help me put it together, it was left to poor Mum to do it by herself. It took me four mornings because by lunchtime it was in full sun and far too hot here in western NSW. I spent the afternoons in air-conditioned comfort getting the panels ready for the next morning. I knew I could do it, but another pair of hands would have been welcome. Anyway, it’s done and the hens are slowly getting used to their new home, but look longingly at the freedom they used to have roaming the whole garden!

I have to start by saying I had two of those wooden coops/pens which I had attached together. It said it was good for 2-3 chickens, so two would be fine for my six. Well they looked cramped, so I ordered just a pen to attach more space, but they still looked cramped. I would never live that way. Suddenly, I found the Omlet Eglu Cube and sticker shock caused me to wait and reconsider. However, my chickens weren't happy, as a first time chicken owner even I could tell. I decided to buy the Eglu cube, my husband went ballistic, so I told him it was a gift. Due to the weather this year, we took some time to assemble it, although normally it could be assembled in a few days, but it was December. We finally finished the cube and one day, one of my chickens got out of the wooden coop. I left a side door open to get her back in. What happened next was hysterical. My chickens had noticed the Omlet under construction, and when they got the chance, one by one, they left their coop and marched themselves into the Omlet, where they had been ever since. They adjusted to it quickly and they certainly had enough room. I loved the automatic door and light. However, for them to live their lives in it, I wanted them to have more room and stretch their wings. We ordered the pet run and again, due to weather conditions, it took us several days. Our chickies were happy in their Omlet Cube though. We connected the run to the cube and the chickies went flying into the Pet run. Our hens were about 20 weeks old at this point and nary an egg was laid. Suddenly we got one egg, two eggs and so on. I know they were at right age, however their home is much more livable now. I decorated the tall corners with silk wisteria (I live in an HOA and were keeping them hidden). From our neighbors point of view, it's an arbor. The chickens are quiet unless they have laid an egg or when I come to hand feed them. The Eglu Cube and Pet Run is an expense, however it is low maintenance, easy to clean & retrieve eggs and gives me room to go in and socialize with my chickies. I didn't know about the Omlet when I bought my first coop, and feel I've wasted my money on them. However the Eglu Cube & Run is the only way to go in my opinion. I'm disabled and am able to keep my chickens happy and this system is as low maintenance as it can be. Eventually, after the whole system was erected, and my husband saw how wonderful this system was, I confessed to buying the Eglu Cube, and he said "whatever it cost, it's worth it" and I agree. Thank you.

got the automatic door with light and use the daylight sensor for opening and closing the door to the hutch. found i was getting unwanted mice coming into the hutch during the night so use this to keep them out. works really well and i dont need to remember to open and close the door all the time.

good value, well made strong!

Well, I filled this peck toy with scratch and oats. I filled this inside of another container as when it moves the seeds fall out of the openings in the product as intended. Of course my hens were skeptical at first..It's a big hit in their enclosure when I'm working! I try to find them boredom buster things when they can't free range with me in the yard with them. What fun this is! Thank you for a useful and fun interaction toy for my hens!

After much research, I chose the Omlet Eglu with the nine-foot run. I assembled it myself after watching a few videos online and following the directions that came in the boxes. I am SUPER happy with the purchase. The cube is made extremely well. I moved it out into the yard by myself and have since moved it around the yard easily with/without assistance. Within 24 hours my chickens were moving in and out of the coop like clockwork. The 1-star reviews who complain about the run must have done something wrong. Even the nine-foot run easily clears the ground to move around the yard. I saw another reviewer that stated a hawk got to the chickens, and there is just no way this could happen if the directions were followed. I did see one question/comment that referenced raccoons being able to open the doors on the coop. Although I really doubt the raccoons would have the strength to turn the handles, I went ahead and put child-proof doorknob covers on the two doors just as an added precaution. I'm pretty sure this will keep raccoons (and small humans) out! :) As far as shipping, I live in the Tampa, Florida, area and ordered my coop on a Sunday, assuming it might be weeks to receive it. To my pleasant surprise, the entire coop came on Thursday of the same week. I realize this might be just the luck of the draw (and the supply chain) but it was great to get it so quickly. I highly recommend this product!
