I'm glad I bought the perch for my walk-in run as the hens love it and it gets their feet off the ground if it's wet. At first I was a bit annoyed you had to cut the wood to fit the run when that's what it's designed for, but then I realised you could have it crooked and use the whole length of the perch. You could probably make something yourself, but this is neat and easy.

It would be too small for my 4 large hens if I didn't buy a 2x2m walk-in run to attach it to as the configuration of my garden means I couldn't let them out all day. They never go into the coop during the day (except to lay eggs), and shelter under the coop if it's raining so I'm glad I got the raised Cube. They also love their dust bath under there - always dry. I got the clip-on plastic treads for the steps as I felt the metal ones were too thin and would be very cold in the winter. They were a bit flummoxed by the steps to start with and took a while to dare to come out the first day (I put them straight in the coop and shut it the afternoon I got them), but they are fine with them now, even if they do choose to fly in & out half the time. The litter tray is a little unwieldy to carry to the compost heap and the feather dust flies into your face if it's windy, so I now empty it into a bucket next to the coop. Not absolutely certain about the draught-free ventilation in cold winter as there are gaps around the back door, but time will tell. Could do with a door to the back of the run under the coop to make it easier to clean out poos from underneath.

Not only provides a lot more space than Eglu Cube + 2x1m run, but I love sitting in there with them, especially when they fall asleep on my outstretched legs or on the perch next to me while I sing to them! I let them out into the garden for at least a couple of hours each day for more exercise and interest and to peck at grass and scratch around as it wouldn't be big enough for them to be stuck in all the time. As it's so secure I don't worry too much about foxes if I'm out in the evening and don't get back till dark to shut them in the coop. Obviously it's not moveable like the Cube + 2x1m run, and they'd scratched all the vegetation away in a week. Now a mud bath in wet weather so will probably order rain cover too. Reasonably easy to put up. Probably doesn't need to be quite as high.

Our girls absolutely love it! We put apples, greens, corn on the cob in and they gobble it up. Our hens are no longer bored and eat food in the holder that they won't touch otherwise. It's a win win for them and us.

I purchased this coop to keep one chicken apart from the flock for its own safety. The coop is small but sturdy. I wouldn’t keep more than two chickens in it, and I feel they would need more foraging space than the 6 ft pen allows. It wasn’t a quick and easy assembly. It took several hours. I’m concerned that the pen isn’t completely predator proof and will use hardware cloth to reinforce it. I think it was a little pricey for what it is but I bought it for a quick fix for my situation.

Great addition to the run which my chickens love. Something extra to keep them entertained.

The run is great! I love it and the chickens do too. Sorting out the pieces and putting it together took a longer time than we'd expected but it's worth the time. I already know that the skirt and heavy-duty wire keeps pests out. It is taller than I'd expected too which means even the tallest person in our house (6'5") can hang with the girls.

The chickens seem to like pecking at it, keeps them amused. The string could be (way) longer.

This suits our garden perfectly. Plenty of room for the chickens to roam but they cant get into the flowers and veggie patch. Love that the netting is not imposing and doesn't detract from the garden. Have clipped the primary feathers on chickens so they can't fly over when they get panicked by the pigeons

Perfect for keeping sun and rain from part of the run
