I am really pleased with the Eglu Cube. I find it easy to keep clean and our chickens seem very happy in it. Secrea

Four hours of wrestling with heavy bits and fiddly bits and it all went together. Other ingredients necessary include a little swearing and plenty of brute force and ignorance in places. There are some bits of rubber seal left over that aren't mentioned in the instructions though. Once together the Cube looks pretty good. I didn't get my chooks till a couple of weeks later so it got the chance to be rain and wind tested and has so far withstood some horrific downpours. With the chooks now in I can appreciate its easy enough to clean out being at waist height. I've had to shield one part of the run with tarp due to the awful weather we've been having so the birds have a little shelter. When it comes to moving it to another patch of ground I can see I'll struggle (looks to be at least a two person job). Overall I'm happy with it so far. *update* Our first ever egg has been laid today!!

I am new to chicken keeping this year and started out with a wooden hen house and run with three hens but now I have extended my flock to six hens so I decided to purchase a green Cube which is absolutely brilliant! It arrived flat packed and was very easy to assemble. I purchased two extensions to the run so there is plently of space for my chooks to run around. The cube is easy to clean and move about but two people are needed to move it and some handles at the rear would be useful. I have purchased a large clear tarpaulin which stretches right across the run and down the sides so they should keep nice and dry and snug throughout the winter. My chooks are very happy in their new home and very safe from Mr Fox! Katy

I felt that the existing run was not big enough for my thee girls. With the colder weather coming I wanted them to have more shelter. I am really glad I bought it. They love the extra space.

Excellent service. Everything arrived as planned and was quickly assembled and instructions given by a most competent and informative person. The chickens started laying eggs within an hour of arriving! No problems whatsoever - I would thoroughly recommend this method of looking after chickens to anyone.

We bought our green Eglu Go at the end of August and Milly, Molly and Mandy have settled in beautifully. The whole family are loving every aspect of keeping our hens and there is a rush to collect the eggs each morning. We would highly recommend the Eglu ( and indeed have done so to everyone we meet) and feel certain that we will be purchasing another one in the very near future along with three more hens. Eggs are fabulous! Thank you Omlet. We are very satisfied customers.

The cube makes chicken keeping easy for all. My 9 year old son and I were able to build it in 1 hr 40 mins, which was very impressive. It is very easy to clean out, a 10 minute job. Best of all it is easy to move around the garden so the lawn is not being destroyed.

The standard run is too small for the number of chickens indicated by Omlet if they are kept in it all the time. I only have 4 and it is too crowded for them, resulting in bad pecking behaviour. The hens (ex-battery) haven't mastered the ladder so they fly out of the house and bang straight in to the cage. During the day they knock off the grub feeder. On the plus side I have full confidence in the security of the hens against predators and the house is easy to keen clean and do the daily routines.

The Eglu and hens were delivered late on a Thursday morning. George was friendly and very knowledgeable. We settled down to a period of the hens, named Margo and Tilly, getting used to their new home and being introduced to our 2 westies. The dogs were very excited about the new addition to their family - a bit too excited - but with a little training, within a few days, they had learnt to accept and love our Margo and Tilly. The girls laid about a week after arriving and have been laying ever since. Tilly is a bit lazy and will only lay 3 out of every 4 days. She's a very 'talkative' hen and seems to be giving us a running commentary as she goes along. I found the nest/roost box easy to keep clean. The girls and us have quickly established a routine. I'm really glad my partner persuaded me to buy them. We are truely micro-farmers now. I only wish I had a few more square metres to get some more hens.

Love it, love it, love it - It keeps my chickens safe from our local Mr Fox. It's so easy to clean (I have cleaned a lot of animal housing in my time and this is by far the easiest). I had no problems constructing my Eglu Cube and did most of it alone. All the pieces were there and went together well. If there was a wish list I would ask for a handle on the 1 metre run extension to make it easier to move, as moving the complete unit is a two person job. Oh and my chickens love it too!
