Once assembled the hens were keen to explore and adapted quickly to their new home. Looking forward to the auto door opener being available in the spring. One of the main reasons for purchasing the MK2

Great hutch for my rabbit Brian as he fights with other rabbits he has to be kept alone this allows me to give him lots of attention . The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the tray is stained with uric acid which is impossible to remove .Don't go for a wooden hutch the eglu is more expensive but well worth it!!!

Once I had calmed down after the hopelessly bad French delivery of the WIR and given it some thought, I looked at your reviews for hints & was very encouraged by a reviewer (a woman I think) who said she had managed to put hers up single handed – so I did too, & felt quite proud of myself. I did it over several days & tried to make it as undisturbing as possible for the hens. I think it is essential to put the roof struts over & up as early as possible to make it a more solid framework to work on. The big clips are wonderful, but as with the small run on my GoUp, the small clips (particularly the double ones) are pretty hellish when it comes to fixing the skirt. I don’t like the way the top row & the roof are made of a larger mesh- here, we are bothered by all sorts of wildlife not least nasty martens & I, being somewhat neurotic, have covered the entire construction with chicken wire & will fix planks along the skirt (& up it a bit). The Go Up run fitted on pretty neatly (that was one thing I did need a hand with as it wasn’t easy to manoeuvre) I took off the front bit of extra run as my ground is too uneven to keep it long & have used the now redundant panels to reinforce other parts. I know the hens are absolutely safe once shut in for the night but I hate to think of their suffering horribly from an uninvited guest. They seem happy enough to have the extra space when I’m not around but they still want to get the heck outta there whenever they catch sight of me. The food & water containers hang better on a vertical panel than they did on the pyramid walls of the smaller run. I did find fault with a couple of parts, peeling paint & the beginnings of rust, & lack of welding in some parts, and the after sales team were very decent about all that, however it isn’t what I expected & having put the thing together the thought of undoing any of it in order to change a panel or a door is more than I can face. I do expect the quality to be good. The design is good & the components are well thought out for the most part, but I do feel the finish is often a bit disappointing.

We recently bought the eglu cube for our five chickens. The fox had already eaten three of our free range chickens and he sure wasn't going to get any of the others if we could help it! It arrived quickly, and took a bit of time to put together. However, once done and moved into place the chickens were put into their new home. They love it, we love it. We move them everyday, (it is easy to move because it is on wheels) as they are used to free ranging and some of the holes they dig just about make it to China. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.

I have an 'old' Eglu Cube, which I have had for 8 / 9 years. It only had a few niggles, and now you have solved them all! There is nothing wrong with my old one, but now I will be saving up for one of these new ones. Thank you for your great designs.

A well made kit of parts, the estimated assembly time is somewhat ambitious, but generally the assembly is not very complicated. We bought ours as a test to switching over to these mainly for ease of cleaning, which we find is the superb thing about these. They will be unbeatable once the automatic door opener is available and we fully intend to buy more of these in the future.

Seems to have kept the mites undercontrol

We had bought 3 cheaper hen house's before we said maybe this might be the one to get, after reading all the reviews. It is brillant. Today I moved and cleaned the house. It looks as new as the day we put it together. It took a good 3 hours to put together though.

Our initial purchase of the Eglu Go-Up proved too small for our flock. The Cube has a flat roof, which is not as cute. The ladder and door latches are very tight. The coop tray is longer, so it's unwieldy to balance on my knee while I remove the night's poop. The front door on the coop is smaller. I find it necessary to step into the run to remove the feeder and water trough, so a larger person would have difficulty. The chickens have more space.

I absolutely love it and I have wished that I had ordered two! I have only five Bantam silkies in mine and it still looks crowded. I would never put 10 full-size chickens in there. I wish that there was one that was twice as big! It is adorable and easy to clean and everything the advertisements said it was .
