Fitted easily and did make a big difference to the size of the run.

Super product

Doesn't consist of much. A few clips and cable ties, but that was all that was needed to link the two runs together.

Perfect for giving the chickens more space and allowing the children to interact with them in a safe environment.

The frame and ladder were fairly easy to assemble. The directions are very good. I was able to attach my Eglu Go Chicken House that I have had and used for 4 years (and is still in good shape). My only concern is that my large hen (8lbs at least) doesn't seem to be able or willing to climb the ladder. It has only been a couple of days so I'm hoping she will eventually learn how to do it. The price is high (especially with shipping) for me, but I am not a carpenter and I have found all the Omlet products I have purchased to be of very good quality.

It's a good, sizeable, cover that crosses with other covers in use to shelter the chickens when in the run. It allows the sun in. And keeps the rain out. Well worth the price.

Having had the original eglu many years ago and my first chicks all passed away of old age. I decided I simply had to have chickens again so purchased the Eglu Cube. What a design - all at waist height - ideal especially for senior citizens like me, as no bending down. The Cube is so easy to access for eggs, has simple pull out trays from under roosting bars to clean out droppings, slide back roof , removeable back to access the interior, where roosting bars and the nest box wall can also be removed for a thorough monthly clean. It dries quickly, has nowhere for the dreaded red mite to hide - it is excellent. My 5 medium to large hybrid chicks found the access ladder a bit of a challenge - I put a log underneath it - for the first couple of days but quickly mastered it and whizz up and down now. The grub feeders (I bought an additional one) keep off the rain and prevents spillages.I bought my cube with the run and run extension plus a walk in run so I can go on holiday knowing my birds are safe and friends can easily look after them. The welded mesh and fox proof skirt means they are very safe. I have nothing but praise for this and all Omlet designs.

The walk in run is an excellent design. I have nothing but praise for this run which can be extended/added to by choosing the appropriate parts on the easy-to-use Omlet web site. The stable doors with an easy, quick to use latch are great. The welded mesh with anti fox skirt mean I can confidentially leave my chickens secure and safe from predators when I am not home to let them free range.

We purchased an Eglu Go about a year ago to replace our old wooden coop and we then replaced the Eglu with a new wooden coop only a month or so after buying it. The Eglu design is great, it looks good and it is easy to clean but it’s just way way too small. Omlet say you can comfortably fit 4 hens in it; absolute nonsense. Your hens will be comfortable only in the same sense that you can comfortably fit half a dozen people in a wardrobe. It’s barely big enough for 2 hens let alone 3 or 4. I’m sure for the less caring chicken keepers who just want chickens for their eggs rather than their welfare it’s perfect but ask your hens if they’d rather have this Eglu or a more traditional and larger coop and I know which one they’d pick. We actually tried this experiment and gave them the Eglu to choose from, the old wooden coop or the new wooden coop; every night without hesitation they all went for the new coop. That said, it’s really great that Eglu have hit on a more modern and clean coop design which makes keeping chickens more appealing to people. If that means people are taking in rescue hens from their terrible lives on battery farms and giving them a better life then I’m all for it. I’m sure given the choice of a battery cage or an Eglu every chicken on Earth would pick an Eglu. But, given the choice between an Eglu and a larger coop I think they’d move in a heartbeat. If only Eglu would make the same style coop but scale it up to a decent size.

Ideal makes access very easy
