Excellent product. We are all delighted with this purchase.

The plastic ladder is somewhat awkward to use for the chickens, it is slippery and chickens find it hard to get a grip on it. This is why they avoid using it. Inside the cube it would be helpful to have some kind of an elevated bar for the chickens so sit and sleep upon. (At least our breed prefers to sleep on bars...)

Very pleased with my Eglu - my chickens started laying almost straight away, it's very easy to clean and it looks great. It's very easy to move forwards and swivel round, but I don't find it easy to move backwards, and as my lawn is quite a strange shape I do need to manoeuvre it a bit to get it onto fresh grass. I hope I'll become more adept with practice!

We love our new Eglu and our 3 Pepperpots. I am new to keeping chickens and don't know anyone else who has them. The facts that the system does not need maintenance and is healthier for chickens, were the deciding factors for my purchase. I chose the green colouring and its really unobtrusive in my garden. The man who delivered the system was excellent. He assessed the site to make sure the ground was level and foxes could not burrow into the run, assembled the whole thing for me, clipped the wings, explained a great deal about keeping chickens and left me feeling competent to cope. We had our first egg 3 days later and they have been daily since. I feel less intimidated by the weeds in my garden now that I know that the chickens love to eat them and they result in such bright yellow yokes. Absolutely delicious! I am also sooooo excited about the impact of all that lovely chicken manure on my fruit veg and flowers!

I love my Eglu. The man came when he said he would, set up the eglu and taught me how to look after my ladies. The eglu itself looks great in the garden and is really easy to keep clean. My ladies laid on their way to our house then started laying again after only 1 day. We have had 5 eggs now in 4 days and one was a double yolker! The kids love it too. They let the hens out in the morning and help feed them, but best of all they love to collect the eggs.

Very pleased with the cube and although it took my girls a while to work out the stairs they got there in the end! Put it together on my on so it took longer than 2 hours but with help I am sure it would have been quicker! I agree with other reviewers that handles at the end would probably make it easie to move around, and perhaps a door under the cube would make it easier for access that end, especially for those like me with a dodgy back and knees. I was concerned with the price so hope it will be worth it in the long term! But very pleased overall.

Looks a good product... but chickens not quite figured it out yet. I have to say that we were very surprised by the quality of the product. The join between the two plastic moulds is very rough. This wasn't what we expected given the excellent quality of all other Omlet products we have. Disappointing.

Delivery on time as promised, assembly took 4 hours not 2 but well worth the effort and all parts required were in the box. The finished product is excellent and robust. Hens went in the next day and settled without any problem. Our only issue is the amount of time we spend with or just watching the hens. Thanks very much for a great product.

Was a bit worried having read the negative feedback but my chickens must be extra clever as they worked it out sraight away. I will be buying a second one to ensure there is plenty of clean water over the summer- no more sluicing out every morning-Hurrah!

The bars fitted the eglu and hopefully will be easier to clean than the wooden ones.
