Very good quality perfect for the job.

Nicer than the wooden ones - easier to clean and won't fall apart and need re-nailing. However, they could be improved even more by making them solid so crap doesn't get on the inside sections. You could use that black recycled plastic they make non-slip plastic decking out of. Had the Eglu for two years now - it's been the best designed product I've seen for a long time, and I'm almost tempted to try your beehive, but I've already invested in a National hive - maybe I'll try it next year when my colony swarms and expands. Well done for the innovative products and excellent web site and "community" you have created - you've brought chicken keeping to the masses and I think the Eglu deserves a place along side the Smart Car in the design books.

I haven't used these - I was quite disappointed in the quality, they are very lightweight, I was expecting solid plastic bars, not what I think looks like a large ice cube tray.

The house is 100% fantastic, so easy to maintain and very secure. My chickens are slowly getting used to using the ladder but it's entertaining to watch anyway! The run is also very secure and really could only be improved by the addition of built in locks for the outer door as the current system is a little fiddly. This would mainly be of value to people who regularly let their chickens out of the run. The 'grub' and 'glug' containers are great and the chicks easily adjusted to the new system. I added 2 'Omlet - Miss Pepperpot' chickens to my collection and found them surprisingly tame and of very good nature. Great to be in the delivery area as the Eglu was assembled by a very knowledgable man in less than 1 hour.

My girls and I are very happy with the accommodation and so easy to keep clean. The feeder and drinker is excellent - I keep them up high so they can't kick the food out so much when looking for the corn. Two hens have been laying since the first week.

Going from a wooden ark coop to the Cube has been as great one for us - easy to clean, stable & secure. Took the chooks a while to get use to using the ladder and 2 weeks down the line a few of them a still a little woobly on their feet but we think they love it too. Proof in the pudding. All our chooks had stopped laying and within a week of having the Cube 2 of them are laying again. We are extremely happy with our purchase. Thank you Omlet

I was concerned about this when it arrived even more so when the man who bought my chooks said they had never used one before!! He did also asure me that they would. And he was absolutely right! We waited a whole 5 minutes before all 3 chooks were using it. Its been great, easy to fill, easy to use and constant clean water for my ladies. GREAT.

I love my cube and so do Gloria, Hilda and Norma my chooks. It has been so easy so far to clean out and takes next to no time to do. I had eggs within 10 days of the chooks arriving so they must be happy with their house. The colour looks great in the garden and kind of blends in!! The man who delivered it all and put it together was fab and made it look real simple (not if I had of done it though!)He gave us lots of info as well and answered our questions. Thanks very much for my lovely cube and gorgeous chickens. Your description of the cube when I was choosing which eglu to have is spot on. It does do exactly what it says on the tin!!

My choocks keep sitting on top of this to drink and so get the water dirty every day, no matter how high I place it. Could a flip top lid be added, as the principle is great.

Very impressed first timers to chicken keeping so easy to use and maintain very good build quality.
