The coop and run are working great for my 4 hens. The instructions stated that it should take about three hours to assemble, but it took about twice that (a little here and there). We used a lot more zip ties to hold the run together than provided, but it seems fairly sturdy. Definitely meets the need!

I’m so pleased I purchased this coop , I spent a lot of time trying to decided on the Eglu or a traditional wooden coop. Definitely made the right decision the coop and two meter run is very well made, I did have some doubts about the ladder as I have three Pekin Bantam hens,which are the dearest little things ever ???? The ladder wasn’t a problem at all for them they were all cuddled in the Coop when the sun went down in the nesting box but now they are a bit bigger they roost on the bars . They are really well looked after (spoilt) but I know they love their new home. Highly recommend, would be nice to have a auto door and light for the coop maybe it’ll be available in the future!

I do like my Eagle cube. However I customized it to make it work for me. I have 4 hens 1 Roo. I really don't think any more would fit comfortably. I have the walk in. It is in the sun. So in the hot summer, I move the Eglu under a tree and put fencing around it for them to graze. Then I use the walk in as garden space. It is nice and fertile since they have been in there all winter, and I get surprise sunflowers that grow up from the left over feed. Now I have complete fencing around my garden, so my plants are for me to eat, not all the critters. I will move them back and hook up to the walk in , in the fall. They will clean up the garden space for me. ALSO, I removed the green litter pan from under the roosting area. I pile leaves from the woods, or straw on the ground under the roosting area. When I take out the roost to clean, I add more leaves as necessary. The chickens dig and stir it for me. Once in a while I will put a rake in there and pull it all out and leave in a pile to "season". Boom! Compost. I'm also hoping it keeps them cooler at night while they are all crammed in there on the hot southern nights. For those who have read this far. Yes there is a hole where the green tray came out. I put some hardware cloth there and kind of "sewed" it in place with some wire.

We bought this for our Bengal cat Junko. He loves it and spends a lot of time out there. We got it big enough to have our garden furniture inside it so that we can be out there with him. We have adapted it slightly to take it over the BBQ to the back wall so that he can be with us when we have a bbq. We fitted our own shelves etc. He spends a lot of time on the back wall to observe the goings on in the alley. Its such great space that we thought it was wasted on just one cat so junko now has a little sister called Kiki. We are really pleased with it.

Everything is perfect but 1 star less due to the extremely poor instructions and videos. This is definitely a 2 person construct, and start very early. You'll need all day for this larger size. It's good and sturdy. Door is well made and easy to use. Even though it was a bugger to put up, I would buy it again..

My dog absolutely loves his new bed, it’s super design looks good & I love the changeable tops. It wash’s and dries quickly as it light.

Love this in every way ????

Bought this in an emergency to re-home our hens after a fire. I don't think this is as good as the rope fencing we had before, we did struggle with assembly as the fence was very long and not as pliable as the rope) but once in place, it does keep the hens where they should be.

I bought the Eglu because the wooden coop had become infested with red mite in crevices where the usual spray hadn't reached. The Eglu should minimise the risk of another infestation. It does have nooks & crannies but the outside is very smooth and I'll be spraying the outside. It appears possible to dismantle completely if necessary and the smooth surfaces can easily be cleaned and disinfected. The information does mention the need for an 80cm gap behind but there needs to be a bigger space than this behind the coop, for handling both the roosting tray and the droppings tray separately. The old wooden coop was never smelly because the droppings fell onto hay with sawdust underneath. The Eglu can be very smelly in the morning because the droppings can land on the plastic roosting bars. For daily cleaning I'm using sawdust and for the deeper routine cleaning I've used water and a soft scrubbing brush. The plastic doesn't dry quickly by itself but does dry easily with a towel. The insulation provided by the double walls was effective in the recent record heatwave, when the coop remained relatively cool. I'm confident that it will provide adequate protection in winter. However, for those rare hot summer nights, I couldn't see a designed way of increasing the ventilation, so I opened the doors slightly. The run is secure so this wasn't a problem. My six bantams used to take ages to settle at night because they wanted to snuggle up AND perch. The bedtime routine involved snuggling up until they pushed each other off the perch! The level roosting bars allow them to snuggle without faliing and bedtime is peaceful.

I just recently purchased this unit with the six foot run. What I like best about this unit is the ease of cleaning the tray and the interior components. I also enjoy how simple it is to move the unit around the yard. I feel I’ll continue to enjoy this unit for many years to come.
