    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    Hello, you will love the cube for cleaning and the fact that it is moveable. I do not see you mention about moving the Cube around your yard. If you intend on this coop being stationary 5 hens will be too much unless you build a large outside pen. If you plan on this being stationary I would not...

    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    I can add I still love my cube it has the 3 meter run. If the cube is going to be stationary for the winter I HIGHLY recommend adding the extra pen as my pictures in the earlier post reflect. For the winter I covered the run and extra pen with heavy poly. I used 6 inches of sand and placed...

    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    Hey thanks for the comments and questions. Have a look at the videos I posted earlier. Yes the inner floor is essentially a roost. But I will definitely be having roost poles outside. I’ll have photos in a few weeks of my portable run extension. Have a great day.

    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    My plan was to tarp in the 3 meter and 8 x 10 extension for the winter and heat the water. Fully knowing proper ventilation would be required. The cube also has an optional breathable insulating cover. Other Cube owners in Quebec have had no need for the insulating cover but I think I will...

    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    6 would be max looking for hybrids Easter Eggers. The inside is 1 sq meter or 10.7 sq feet. Of that 2-3 feet is nest box. This coop uses roosting bars instead of a solid floor.. I purchase the 3 meter run which is 3 sq meters or 32.3 sq feet. This is the reason I am building the 8ft x 10ft = 80...

    Eglu Cube Pros and Cons?

    Well if you have read my intro you will see I purchased a 3 Meter Eglu Cube and I am building an 8 x 10 A frame run extension on wheels. For 8 months a year I will be able to move this set up on new grass but will cover in the run for the winter with clear poly. I do feel the Cube is grossly...
