Great idea but could do with some refinements! Very tiny door to run makes it virtually impossible to encourage chickens up the ladder for the first few nights and/or to reach additional food and water containers in run (mine don't like the Grub and Glug). Not possible to put cube and run against a wall or fence for added rain/wind protection (or just for convenience in a smaller garden) as you need access to the rear to remove trays to clean, access to one side to get to nesting box, the opposite side for the handle to close the cube door and the front for the chickens to get in and out of the run. Would be much better if the handle for the sliding door was the same side as nesting box and door to the run was placed at the rear, under the cube. It is such a tiny door it would easily fit. Have just ordered the wind/winter shades to add some protection but the wind shade only fits one panel beneath the cube (not all three) and the winter one covers top and one side. Would like to see a waterproof cover added that at least covers the area underneath the cube, to rear and both sides, to provide protection on those days when it just doesn't stop raining.

It lives up to all expectations.

I had serious doubts about spending a lot of money on a chicken house and especially one i hadn't even seen! However, I can't rate the cube highly enough. I've had it for two weeks now and my four girls love it. I got the extension too as otherwise i felt it would be far too cramped for them. I would not put anymore hens in there. On Sat it took me 6 mins to clean thoroughly - i clean out the poo trays every other day and i line the trays with newspapers so the job takes me about 30 seconds. My girls are VERY happy, as am I.

The cube is a brilliant piece of kit. The chickens love it - we love it and everyone who has come to visit us loves it. The only thing that would make it better would be if the run section could easily unclip from the cube to make cleaning the front of the cube and the steps much easier.

Well, after considerable thought we have decided to keep bantams again and after looking at an appropriate residence for said bantys, we selected the Eglu in a fetching shade of blue. Today was the day for construction! And I have to say that the instructions were crystal clear and after a couple of hours (including tea breaks and time to stand back and admire my handiwork!) the Eglu was finished! EXCELLENT!! The only criticism I could say was that there were a couple of really tight bolt hole alignments which resulted in a bit of huffing and puffing....other than that, a superb house for the bantys !! Keep up the good work! Keith and Janet Winmill

It just took one or two days for my new Ex batt Hens[3 birds] to get the hang of the ladde but after that they've got on fine. Have had egg's from day one and all seem to be happy chicks.

Upgraded from eglu, same great quality but now we can keep more chickens!

As foster parents we like to incorporate animals as a form of therapy. The children helped in choosing the hut! Assisted in the assembly, 35 minutes less than the recommended time, helped to choose the chickens and named them, chickens settled in in no time. Easy to clean, fox proof, dog proof, and more importantly kid proof a product - well worth buying for the urban chicken keeper.

The great things are always simple...remember the old engineers saying..Keep it Simple Stupid.(KISS).What more do you want with feeder than to keep food clean and dry..that's exactly what the Grub does...I love it but more importantly ..so do the hens..

Having upgraded from an Eglu to a Cube I was unsure of the complete difference in design and it took me a while to convince myself to part with my funky looking Eglu, however, I have to say I love the Cube and like the Eglu, it's also very easy to clean, the poop trays on the Cube are at a level where bending is no longer needed and the extra space the hens have is brilliant.
