I got my eglu second-hand from someone who no longer keeps chickens (I know, why would you not want chooks). Anyway the cover the came with it was weathered and very thin, eventually ripping in some strong winds. This new heavy duty version is much better. The material is thick and it feels like it'll last. Very pleased :)

Am about to have 2nd hip replacement and find it difficult to bend down to clean out our existing hen shed. This is therefore ideal as once up and running it is easy to access for cleaning and collecting eggs. Have also had problem this year with red mite, now pretty well under control but so much easier to deal with the girls now that they are in this new house than the old wooden shed that had so many nooks and crannies. The ladder is too high up from the ground so we have rested their old one against it to make it easier for access. Another downside is that we have used an automatic timer for closing the pop hole for years and with this system that is impossible and therefore a little constrictive if we were to go away overnight. Is there anyway that this could be developed in the future? As yet we have not set up the cage but already have discovered that unless the cube is put on really level ground (difficult in our wood) then there are quite large gaps along the joins between the roof & the sides which I suspect could compromise the weather/water proofing of the house.

Love this product- easy to fit, good protection from the worst of the weather and doesn't stop my lovely girls getting some light. Very pleased, thankyou!

I specifically bought the heavy duty cover for the egly classic (extension) to fit the guinea pig run that goes with the eglu. I use the eglu with the guinea pig run as a sick bay, temporary accommodation for new 9wk old chicks, isolating injured bantams as well as separating bullies from their victims.The shade fit is perfect, keeps food dry and this year has provided ample protection from the frequent and heavy rain we have experienced. The cover quality is excellent and should last a lot longer than the ealier shades. Would definitely recommend.

Very easy to keep clean. Bantams love it. They realised from day 1 that they had to climb the ladder to go to bed. We had to add an extension to the ladder for the little lavender pekins as they couldn't make it up on their own. Bit worried about the size of the water container in case one of them gets in & can't get out, as they seem to climb into the food container quite happily, so am waiting till they're a bit bigger before using it. In the meantime have placed it outside the run & the peacocks and guinea fowl use it instead whilst visiting the little bantams. Would recommend the cube to any prospective purchasers.

Anyone buying the Go should consider buying this at the start because you WILL be addicted and you WILL want more chickens. We have 1 extension to house our little flock of 3 and it works well. We managed to introduce some new girls by sticking canes halfway down the run and this left plenty of room for all hens during the day, with them all going into the house at night. The only problem was getting the separate Glug and Grub into the far side of the run- I never thought I'd end up on my hands and knees crawling through a chicken run. Excellent product anyway and has given our little flock the space they need.

i bought these when we got our first chooks as i just wanted the extra security for the flared hem of my eglu run- they are super easy to use the screw in and out of the ground and hold the run down on my ( now demolished!) lawn . i have only given them 4 and a half because- yet again they are rather pricey i think...

Well made and seem to work well. Better than the previous feeders (the ones with the red bottoms which were terrible to unscrew and fill.

Like it but would like bigger, as that costs am now saving. Great product that is what it says, I have given the hens a bigger run for when we are home. Ideal for cleaning and moving. The booklet which came with the product was very useful.

I bought these after noticing in windy conditions the chickens seemed quite unhappy. In general I'm very pleased with them and they certainly huddle under the cube in a much more comfortable way than before. My main criticism of the product is that it is very difficult to fit them snugly due to needing to wrap the hooks around the sides to fit. Therefore a couple of the covers have got ripples in them where I've had to move the hooks to lower levels than ideal.
