Customer Reviews

Debated with myself for weeks reading reviews/comparisons on all types of chicken houses before deciding that the Eglu Cube Mk2 was going to best sort my needs. I had been thinking about keeping chickens for a year or so and when my daughter took on some ex-battery hens I really decided I would like some chickens of my own although had not been impressed with the wooden chicken coops. I subsequently ordered my cube and 3m run and put this together all by myself. The run was a bit of a nightmare to put together and I certainly do not rate the little clips, I found it much easier and more rigid to use cable ties. The house itself was a little fiddly but not too difficult and I proudly took ownership of 3 chickens who seem to be very happy in their new home. The Cube is a doddle for cleaning out and although is rather expensive, I think you get what you pay for. The size is very good and you could possibly sleep 5 medium to large chickens however a 3m run I feel is only adequate for 3 largish birds. My hens are quite lucky in that at weekends they can be let out to roam around a designated area of my garden, if you were keeping hens in the run all the time, I would definitely not look at having more than 3. Everyone agrees that this hen house is lovely and I actually feel the chickens and hen house enhance my garden. My chickens are so lovely and follow me around constantly hoping for treats. If you really want to keep chickens then this is the idea house for you. I would have gone for the Go-Up, but after reading rather a lot about chickens I really wanted a totally egg laying area from the roosting area. Mine very soon realised where they should go to lay eggs and I can even leave the little sliding door open as they are more than happy to sleep on the roosting bars. I agree with others that the ladder can be a bit daunting for the chickens, I have one which has always walked up this rather elegantly from the star, one that jumps and flutters up and down a little at the time and another chicken which always seems to trip over its feet and literally falls out each morning. Overall very pleased with my purchase and more than happy to recommend.

Well made heavy plastic drinker. The description said it was suitable for the eglu classic. It does fit on the wire but there's no way that you can hang it so it's raised off the ground as it is too heavy when filled. I have to hook it on the lowest bars and sit it on the ground.

This is a really sturdy thick piece of plastic with attachments so you can hook it on to the Eglu run easily and take it off in between rain showers. Our girls are protected from heavy downpours and are able to use the full-length of their run with this. It does make it rather dark in there so sometimes we hitch up the sides or pull one corner back just to let some light in for them, even when it's raining. Will be good protection if it snows too.

So glad I bought this product.Got 3x4x2 metre cat run and really pleased with it. My cats are safe and secure- it did take them few days to get used to it, but they love being in it now. Have put in few pots of herbs and cat house to shelter in. Fairly easy to assemble - needed two of us to build it and took about 4 hours. Very strong and secure and blends really well into garden. Bought one heavy duty cover and have just ordered another.

This run is great. It is much easier to clean out the coop than the lower 2m and 3m runs where you can't reach the front of the coop. However I would say that if you can afford a bigger one it would be well worth it as this one is quite tight (we have the go up in it). Also the poo tray for the go does not fit through the door of the run so you have to tilt it (and some of the poo falls out). The hens do love this run. It is ideal for my 3 Orpingtons (big birds).

We are so pleased with our Eglu Go and bought it to house our guinea pigs. It's a lovely looking product as well as being easy to keep clean and exactly right for our piggies. We are glad we opted for the 2m run as its great to see them leaping about.

The design is great but I think a little more depth to the tray and the perching rails would help the area stay cleaner. I bought one. of the very first eglu and the plastic seemed sturdier especially the glug and grub....I really miss them and I think the hens do! How about bringing them back?

A bit disappointing the delivery was delayed due to shipping but that's not omlet's fault. Some seriously good engineering here and looks excellent. I would seriously recommend buying the wheels as it is heavy to move. Went together well except one bolt hit a faulty thread in the house. Quite fiddly to assemble and I suggest putting aside the best part of a day with 2 people. We bought the wheels separately which unfortunately arrived without wing nuts! However omlet responded very promptly and say they have posted for delivery tomorrow. An excellent product but I still believe is very pricey. The instruction books could have had more thought put into it especially when instructing re the run. Also, the instructions for the door could have been clearer in that the plastic clasps act as hinges and the bars are just for securing shut.

Totally amazed with this product, we are new to keeping chickens and wanted something that not only looked great but was practical, easy to keep and clean and keep out 4 girls secure, warm and safe. It arrive in 6 massive boxes as we went for the 3m run however was very straightforward to build using the video link on the website. Our girls really love the space they have and we feel better knowing they are safe throughout the day while we are at work. We would fully recommend this product to anyone wanting to become chicken parents ..what a joy they are, and thank you Omlet for designing a very practical and safe environment for our girls.

just brought one of your runs love it the kittens loveit well done great product a bit daunting at first but once you get started quite easy to put up definitely need two people looks good too
