Customer Reviews

We had considered getting a normal chicken ark or similar but decided that they were expensive (£150+), keep requiring treating and difficult to clean. As a result, we selected going for an eglu Cube which although they are 3-4 times the price it will last 10+ times longer than a timber one, not require annual treating. It takes approximately 2 hours to put together but is relatively easy. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars are: no removable tray in the nesting box which makes it harder to clean, the Grub and Glug containers have hooks on the reverse which are not long enough meaning that it is too easy for the chickens to knock off, and thirdly, the ladder ends approximately 1 foot off the ground which is fine for 'able' chickens but for battery chickens, as we have, they don't have the strength or understanding to be able to jump or fly up - perhaps a ladder extension should be available for purchase? Overall though, very pleased with our puchase and exceptional customer service from Omlet.

the eglu is excellent and has improved from the last one i had its so much easier to clean

I was worried that our chickens would not get the hang of this new item but they have done, and, it so good as the water stays clean!

Excellent product can see my ladies being happy. Although i thought shade was a wee bit short.

I am most impressed with my cube. My hens took to it straight away. Because I needed to put it behind my shed I found that the fox proof guard at the sides would have been better hinged like the front and back. The door could be a bit bigger, I find it hard to get in to clean the ladder etc. A perch of some kind would be nice for the chickens to sit on which I have had to buy it lifts them off the grass and gives them a break from each other.

I'm very happy with my cube, a very simple and attractive design with good construction drawings, but found some of the tolerances of the molded panels to be tight and need a lot of force to be able to line up for the installation of fixings and the roof panel does not fit as well as I would have liked with larger gaps at the front than the rear, I think most woman and some men would struggle to construct the cube this is why have have given it a 4 star rating.

Disappointed so far as none of my chickens will use it. Anyone have any tips?

Well it arrived about an hour ago and both I and the chooks LOVE IT! They took to it straight away. It holds so much more water than the regular glug and I won`t have to keep wasting Apple Cider Vinegar and Verm-x cos the girls can`t flick food and wodchips into it like the regular glug. THANKS omlet!

Good quality product with plenty of space for food- looks good and is practical.

Yes, it holds a lot of water, but my hens don't appear to have the nack of drinking from the teets. Can any other owner tell me how high to position it? Should the hens be able to easily fit underneath or should they have to stretch their necks to reach it?
