These are great and have helped transform my hens new home - creating a sheltered oasis under their cube. Many thanks

Extremely good product,after applying to chicken for 3days the diarrhea cleared and she is healthy.

We bought two (as the best option we could see on the Omlet site) to fit over an Eglu Go-Up and try and prevent the ground looking like the Somme. They have certainly improved the situation with all the rain we've been having lately so thats the good news. However, the eyelets have rusted within a few weeks. Due to the design of the go-Up the rain still get's in under the coop and around the edges of the cover so the ground is still fairly wet and muddy. The "Clear" plastic is now filthy as the chickens flick muck around (admittedly we could take the covers and wash them down). In the short term the covers have improved the situation for the chickens. Longer term I will probably build a permanent roof structure over the top of the Go-Up and run to keep the chickens dry and mud free.

I stood in the pen turning this thing over and over and still cannot work out how it goes together. in the end I propped it up against the extension run wall and it seems to do the job.

This is what my hens have been waiting for. They never really liked not being able to go up and perch at night and often would perch on top of the Eglu Go, before going in at night. This is just perfect, ideal height, easier for me to clean out too. The ladder is amazing. We attached a bit of our old un-used run to the legs, so now is perfect for attaching the feed and water under the GO I use Omlet chicken fencing, so didn't need to buy the run, which would have been very expensive, but the price of the frame and ladder is great value. Also used my old plastic cover to go around two of the legs so it keeps dry under there too. The hens love going under there when its wet and windy. I wish Omlet, you would produce a separate nesting box. The one in the Go gets too dirty overnight, so I have bought a small wooden weatherproof rabbit box for them to lay eggs in, They usually lay after they have been let out in the morning, so this way I get clean eggs. A small Omlet one would be much better though. perhaps like a mini GO? Also the feeders for the GO are too large and deep. Something half the size would be ideal for 2/3 hens. Thank you Omlet

This is a good product worth the cost

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Attaches to my existing Eglu Go easily. Hens hopped up straight away and happy to shelter under it, too. Best of all; easy on my back.

This really is the best bedding for the coop, it soaks up poo like magic and is sweet smelling, I love it and I'm sure the girls love it too!!

We bought a beautiful lime green cube. Took approx 2 hours to set up (without a run) and was straightforward to complete. We had a previous problem with mites and 2 of our girls were refusing to go into our old house at night, on the 2nd night all girls went in happily. We have warrens, light Sussex, bluebells and speckledys and they can all use the ladder easily. We just placed a large log at the base of the ladder as a step up. Easy to clean out droppings in the mornings. I would highly recommend.

Eglu Cube: The boxes arrived on a Friday and on Saturday we opened them to start to erect it. However not all the boxes had been delivered (Royal Mail's fault). The remainder arrived on Monday. We started to erect it but quickly discovered that a captive nut in the base was missing. We rang and Omlet arranged a replacement base which arrived the following day. During erection the right side of the house (looking from the rear) refused to go into place. After struggling for 15 minutes we went back several stages and loosened the triangular brackets holding the front face of the house and pulled it backward until the side fitted. It is in fact written in the instructions that the front face should be pulled back as far as it can go before the bolts are tightened, but it is so essential that perhaps this instruction could be highlighted in some way. We then took the side off again and tightened the bolts of the triangle bracket. It was plain sailing from then on but we are sure this must be a common difficulty experienced when erecting the house. The tip is not to do the bolts up tight before the sides are in place and the holes in the two side to base rear L shaped brackets can match the bolt holes. Another tip is not to undo the boxes on paths or concrete because of scratching paint from any metalwork and exposing steel to potential corrosion. We use the Cube for eight bantams and were initially worried that they were too small to be able to use the ladder. This proved unfounded and they happily "fly" up to the bottom step. The only thing we have done is to remove one of the roosting racks and use hay for them to nest in instead. Being smaller birds they seem to prefer it to the racks which are a little large for them. We wondered if the manufacturers would consider making smaller roosting racks specifically for bantams. We and our bantams are extremely happy with the Cube. In particular the wheels mean that moving it is simple. Our old heavy ark used to cause us back ache when we moved it. Thank you, Alison Lay.
