Had hummed and hawed about purchasing such an expensive house for my girls didn’t think it was worth the money. How wrong was i product is well built and is a great size , easy to clean also . Was worried about the steps thought they where to steep for the girls but they have mastered them well. House has a separate door on the inside for my girls to lay eggs this can be closed by sliding it along we tend to keep ours open to give the girls more sleeping area if they want it. The girls love it so do my other three girls who have started to lay there eggs in the new house . Well worth the money so glad i purchased also

We needed to replace two parts of an old hen house which had deteriorated and become brittle and cracked with age. Omlet quickly provided identical replacements. Packing the parts was tricky and for one item a prominent part had punctured through all the layers of bubble-wrap and cardboard but no damage was done, luckily.

I put most of it up by myself then had help getting it straightened out. Nice product if you don't want something permanent. The chickens have stayed in and not flown out and I feel like they have good protection from outside predators.

We bought this a few weeks ago. It’s well designed and robust and we’re pleased with it. The girls do flap over it though, particularly our girl who is bottom of the pecking order. So you do still have to keep an eye on them

With the avian flu restrictions lifting, I thought I would replace my 12 year old Omlet chicken fence, as it was showing signs of wear. I hadn't realised that I would be getting a new version, and although I need to give it longer to find out its strong points, my first reaction is that it isn't as good. There seems to be a lot more plastic with the Mk2 fence, and the mesh really doesn't look as if it would last for 12 years. My garden slopes in two directions, and isn't at all even - the old fence was perfectly usable under these conditions, the new one less so. The instruction booklet seems to assume that you will be constructing the fence as a rectangle, whereas I wanted to create a single line of fence to divide the garden in two (theirs and mine!) so from this point of view the instructions were difficult to follow as I had to adapt them. I only discovered when I was searching for a video online to help me to understand the instructions that it is possible to buy parts to fix the fencing to a wall or existing garden fence - my other half and I had to use our ingenuity and a few cuphooks! So now that the fence is up, and we have managed not to swear or have an argument while doing it (although at times it was a close run thing) I have to say it does look neat, but I struggle to use the latch on the gate while carrying anything. I also agree with the other reviewer who missed being able to lean over the fence, as you could with the old style. My greenhouse is in the chickens' half of the garden, so I am often carrying seed trays backwards and forwards, and a fiddly gate plus higher fence makes this difficult to manage. I know that we all need to adapt as changes come, but the changes in the design of the fence system make it much less adaptable in my opinion.

I love this because it has been easy to clean but having problems getting it spotless so wanted to buy a replacement and soak the one I have to get the stains off. I just never see it available and have been checking for months.

I keep two hens and regardless of feeder, the hens spill the feed. This Omlet cube feeder on the stand allows my hens ready access and no spills!

I have successfully installed the automatic door - and it's freedom from worry for me, and safety for my two spoiled chickens. I've recommended it to my son, who has a small farm. One night he forgot to lock up his chickens, and sadly only two very traumatised birds survived the vigilant fox. I only have one suggestion regarding the automatic door. Your very thorough handbook should have a section titled "For old farts". It should start: "To get the chicken door to open and shut when you want it to, first lift up the front of the control box. To start, Press the OK button - ( that's the one with OK written on it ) Sit down. When you have recovered from the stress, press the downward arrow. Go and have a cup of tea...." Some of us lived through the war you know...

We bought this for our two Burmese as we have a terrace one floor up and they are so bonkers there was a risk they would jump! It fits perfectly. My only request is that Omlet supply a connection tunnel from a catflap to the run for those who cannot fit it right up to the door like us.

Delighted with our purchase of the Eglu Cube. It was everything we hoped for and more! Our kids love checking on the chickens, collecting the eggs and cleaning out the coupe... long may it continue! I have to say that we also purchased the 3m run, which turned out to be too large for the space we had allocated (poor measuring on my part!) Omlet were superb in organising a return. Swift and first class service. Could not recommend them more! Fabulous from start to finish.
