I do feel the Cube is grossly over priced but I purchased the cube mostly for what I perceive to be ease of cleaning, ability to move to fresh green spaces and hopefully keeping my birds safe from predators.
I really did not like my wooden coops always being wet.
Does the eglu have a roost?
The birds have done very well in my set up. we have had loads of wind this winter. I covered the a frame with poly and left plenty of ventilation.
'd like to see some pictures, if you have any!
Do have any tips regarding the Eglu in windy conditions? Ours was blown away in a particularly windy storm. Perhaps it being on a slope was a factor, plus the plastic coverings I had on the run probably acted as sails... I also think we chose the wrong location and that the wind got funnelled into that area (because of the lay of the land) making it particularly severe. We weren't home though, so I don't know.
For the most part my cube has been frozen in place.
I have a Cube with a 3 meter run. My 4 girls love it and it was much bigger and roomier than I thought it would be. No regrets (other than the money - ouch!)
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 chopped straw on top. Every week I raked out the old straw and droppings and replaced with fresh straw. Of coarse one must leave plenty of ventilation. I had 5 barnyard hens the smallest was a blue laying EE. If the only space you have is the 3 meters I would suggest only 3 large hens. My birds only sleep and lay in the Eglu cube. Spring, summer and fall my birds free range 2 -4 hours per day.
