These are a huge improvement on the original wooden version: easier to clear and, hopefully, 'mite dupers'. Not a single complaint from the ladies.

I am generally happy with the cube but have a few minor gripes: The base unit have very many marks especially around the bolt holes indicating it may be been put up before - perhaps it was a returned item. One of the wheel legs came with a bad scratch - through the paint to the metal. The suggested installation time (2 hours) is ambitious for the first timer - it took me quite a lot longer.

Fantastic and my 4 chickens love it too. so easy to keep clean. Wish i had bought one sooner. service from omlet brilliant and thankfully the delivery man put it together for me. Would advise you buy the winter shade to give some protection from rain and wind.

These are loads easier to clean than the wooden ones, and the hens dont seem to mind the difference. The wooden ones only lasted 6 months before they started falling apart so lets hope these last as long as they seem like they will!

There was a fairly long wait for the delivery of this cube partly due to our impending holiday. The cube was put together by the delivery man and apart from the fact that one extention support bar was put in the wrong way, it was fine. There were some parts missing from the delivery but these were dispatched quickly by Omlet. A very clean and easy way to keep hens.

The Cube is so well designed that I am hard pressed to think how it could be improved. You are working at a convenient height without having to bend when you clean out and attend to the interior. The bars lift out easily to clean as do the trays, all the moving parts slide easily and lock easily. The girls appear to be very pleased with their new abode and learned to use the water feeder and the ladder in no time. I can't believe how easy it is to move it about as well, given its size and weight - I really congratulate Omlet on the pedals that lift it up for wheeling about. The only thing I find slightly less easy to deal with on this compared with my little Eglu is the nesting area where the straw goes. On the little one I can scoop the old straw out in one swipe into the interior and let it drop between the bars and this into the collecting tray, for easy removal. On the cube, the "lip" between the nesting area and the roosting bars is too high to do this easily plus being a bigger area anyway you can't quite get your hands into all of it so well to grab the dirty stuff. It is not a huge deal but I do find that one aspect slightly less easy to deal with, and tend to end up poking the old stuff down through the slit and into the coop area below. I guess you either have to take it out by hand via the egg port or else just poke it through and periodically scrape out the coop floor. If the lip were a little lower you could push it out so it went into the trays. But not a deal breaker.

Its everything they say it is,my bantams love it, it really is so easy to clean move, brilliant design, and the nice man from omlet assembled it for me. I didn't meet him but he called to say he was at my house. Worth the money. Thanks all at omlet.

having bought a second hand mark one eglu with wooden bars, I tried the plastic ones out of our original eglu and they fit ok. These are much easier to clean and get dry.

The cube is fab. We love it and the chickens love it!

I recently bought the eglu cube for my six hens after having lost a hen to a fox. I had to wait quite a while to receive my cube but was definitely worth the wait! The product was easy to assemble and was completed in under 2 hours. My hens love their new home and took to it very quickly. They especially love the cosy nest box (although the ladder took a little getting used to, but now their fine). The eglu cube is fantastically easy to clean and maintain and makes chicken keeping far easier and you have the reassurance that your hens are far safer from predators. I have also recently purchased the extension pack for the run which is excellent, although I feel very expensive for what it is, although is a must I feel if you intend to shut your chickens in the run for long periods. All in all I feel the cube is an excellent product if as little pricey.
