Eglu Cube?

[rosyposyosy]

this is really cool - i wont pay for it as i could build one myself that and its in the UK. i just thought i would share. i think i'll do this next time i have to build a coop - just bigger, because i dont believe that can really hold 6 chickens.

I have never heard of a igloo cube, sounds interesting though.

The Eglu cube http://www.omlet.co.uk/products_services/products_services.php?view=Eglu%20Cube

is not available in the U.S. yet. Word on the Omlet (the company that makes these things is called Omlet) message boards is that it will be available here by the end of next year.

HUh, those are pretty neat.

That is so cool! It would be perfect for a small backyard flock.

That looks like a great improvement over the Eglu, but I still cannot see how they can claim it is an "ideal way" to house 10 chickens. Three, maybe four standards perhaps -but 10? Color me doubtful.

Great for two or three chooks in the city though, definitely.

I'm with you, I'll just build one similar, only bigger, got 25 chickens here.

Oh hey that new product is great looking! I really considered the Eglu for a long time. In fact, its the product website that got me thinking about chickens in the first place! It *is* pricy, but there are some real benefits I can see to plastic. They are nicely designed.

yeah - think i might make one with wood, next time we move - but i think it would be too heavy to use as a tracter - plastic is lighter, and doesnt rot - i think it would last you a life time.
