Eglu cube

Post by mrsc »

Hi
I'm thinking of getting an eglu cube. Does anyone have any experience of them. Good or bad before I commit

I had one and absolutely loved it. So easy to clean and no problem with red mite.

I had one for a while some years ago but it didnt suit me at the time & I went back to my chunky wooden coop. It wasnt as soundproof as the wood one & my Orpingtons didnt like the floor or the ladder. (perhaps I didnt give them enough time to get used to it) However, I did find it really easy to manage & my father in law (a retired chicken farmer) was very impressed with it. Now I'm a bit more experienced with chookies I would probably reconsider getting one if my wooden one fell apart, but not while I have a cockerel.

I have a solway plastics hen loft, which I love. It’s easy to clean and to control red mite.
