We've had Fearne and Holly for just over a week now, and as they are in their run for most of the day we thought a run extension would give them a bit more room for all that scratching and digging around that they like so much! We let them roam around the garden while we were putting the run together - they were very interested in what we were doing, and sure enough as soon as it was built they went in for an inspection! Really pleased with how it all looks, also got the clear rain cover and the half length strong waterproof shade, and given the amount of rain we've been having lately should keep the girls nice and dry right through the winter.

This is great addition to our Classic Eglu. It keeps the run dry and clean, even in heavy rain and also provides some diffuse shade (our run is under trees so there is dappled shade and we don't need the green cover so much.) We leave it in place all the time so it also stops drip after rain and wild bird droppings getting into the run.

Really pleased with this shade, we have had the green covers for years so fancied a change. the cover is a great size and because it is clear it lets in all the light making the whole run look bigger. Would recommend!!

Very easy to put together. Our hens love the extra space - it has made all the difference to their run. Very pleased we bought it.

We use ours when the girls are in their fenced off area at our allotment, it's just the job!

So quick and easy to use, never tips over even if full glug on one side and nearly empty grub hanging on other side (even when standing it on uneven/sloping ground). Me and the chickens couldn't be happier with the product.

I am overall pleased with the Cube. I have the small 2m run as my girls free range all day. However it is useful to have the facility to shut them in the run if needed and also it is useful to hook the food and water bowls to the cage. The sun shade doubles as shelter from the rain. As a previous reviewer has stated it is very difficult to get into the caged area to clean/top up the food as you need to stoop down double to get into the cage as the door is much lower than the top of the cage. Compared to the Eglu (there is no comparison, they are in different leagues) it is easier to access and clean as you just slide out the poo trays without needing to bend. My only concern is that there are sizeable gaps around the poo trays so I don't know how warm my girls will be in Winter as the wind will whilstle through. Also the Cube is not big enough for 10 hens. I house 6 in mine and they are average sized hybrids. 4 roost on the bars and 2 sleep in the laying box. Very easy to access the eggs via a door on the side of the cube and again no bending.

Very pleased to report that our four birds are now clear of red mite after leaving their wooden coop for the Cube; took a couple of cleans under the roosting bars to eradicate the ones the birds must have brought in with them, but we are so pleased as none of the treatments we had tried worked effectively. We had to prop their old wooden ramp over the Cube's ladder to begin with; they are used to jumping up now, but being smaller breeds the gaps in between the rungs and the diameter of the rungs themselves are quite large - it would help if there was a better surface for them to grip on to as they hop up. Ours prefer to all cram into the nesting box to sleep together than standing on the roosting bars! We're in agreement with a previous review that some kind of handles to assist moving the Cube would be a good idea, as the wire run is difficult to pull from. Overall, brilliant but priced out of many people's pockets and we wouldn't say it could house ten birds comfortably; six to eight maximum depending on breed size.

Just the job for keeping the girls dry....if you haven't got one...get one!!

Great product for the grub and glug, really pleased with it.
