The feeder stand is ideal, I don't have an eglu yet but the stand works really well in my run.

Hi Overall a good product just one snag. Having read on other forums that the ladder is a bit short, this is what i have found also. Only having owned it a month i have had a chicken damage its leg and now stays outside. I have had to place a box at the bottom of the ladder to help her get onto the ladder. Maybe a modification to the ladder may be the answer. Other than that, i am very happy with it.

After much research we decided to go for the Eglu Cube, in the past we have always had wooden houses and runs and they are so heavy, they rot and are a nightmare to clean. We needed a house on wheels and a run as the girls cant come out because of the foxes and the dogs. The dogs are all gundogs so as far as they are concerned all birds must be retrieved! So the cube is a safe environment for them to be in and peck the dogs noses. We got the metre extension which has definitely been worth it. The cube is so easy to move and the girls get fresh grass everyday. Cleaning them out is now enjoyable and so easy to do. A few people have mentioned that their chickens have struggled with the ladder, mine had no problem and spend a lot of the day hopping on and off it, no problems going to bed and they pile out in the morning quite happily. I don't have any negatives about the cube, even though it was quite expensive, the fact it is so easy to clean and move makes up for the cost. A great design and wish we had discovered them sooner. I have very happy, clean girls producing an egg each a day and making our breakfasts so yummy!

Easy to order and quick to arrive. My chickens are now happily running round in an extra metre of run.

I know this is expensive but it is so worth every penny. Previously we had the Eglu GO which is great, but since we wanted more hens (we now have 4) we went for the Elgu CUBE with the extension. Bit tricky to put together - didn't help that it was pouring with rain at the time and windy! We had to leave it and continue the next day as the roof didn't fit correctly. One of the pre-drilled bracket holes had been put in the wrong place it was too high by about quarter of an inch and meant the roof couldn't slide. However, my husband added a washer to make the sliding bracket fit better and it's now fine. All in all I would recommend the Cube to anyone - it really is so very easy to clean and the hens love it! Great that you can add the extension at a later date - as I do think that without it the Cube run looks really small.

I have had this clear cover for nearly two years now and as a protector from wind and rain it is excellent .....however!!!! I have to buy a new one as the local foxes have torn the bungees off and over the last three nights have decimated the cover. I will buy another clear for now and hope that they will leave it alone, as it is so good as a cover and I can still see the birds.

All though thrilled with the above product I wish that all the opening were all on the same side enabling me to put in one static place if wanted too

brilliant in every way, makes keeping chickens so so easy. its all a very pleasurable experience now. my eglu is a top bananna !!

We have had wooden traditional hen coups for many years.so were slightly anxious to change but recent infestations of mite and time consuming routine cleaning and disposal of bedding etc along with the creosoting etc Brilliant wish we'd bought one when they first came out. So much so that we are thinking to buy a second one as the old wooden house is still in use in the other chicken run.The hens are happy and we are happy! A dream to clean and it looks good in a very rural setting.we love the concept of moving it around too. We work long hours and have lost many hens in the pat to Mr Fox so to be able to move them round giving them fresh ground and keeping them safe is a bonus.the run for the poor chicks left in the original wooden run gets very worn out when they are shut in during the working week. Why 4 stars? 1. Moving it! Not easy on slopes and how do we move it? Pull on the run but will that stress the fixings etc push and it nose dives. Would love some handles at both ends! To give it lift and grip!! 2.we think the area under the house should be made of lightweight plastic walls with the fox proof wire skirt attached rather than the wire netting used on the rest of the run.this would give the girls better protection from the elements. The rain shade cover is good but I never put it in the right place at the right time but we do live in an exposed area. So just ideas really because we love it and will be getting another one soon! Thankyou Omlet

Easy to put together and gives loads more room.The extension does make it harder to move around if you have a limited space, It is also very expensive for what it is
