Total load of rubbish. I have an eglu and two cubes which have NOT worn out at all and which give more than adequate housing to all 19 of our girls. I use the eglu for our bantams and the cubes are housing our hybrids and pure breeds. In fact, although the cubes are designed to house ten hens comfortably, I regularly have up to 15 girls sleeping in one cube through choice (mine free range all day every day and sleep where they want to each night).
They are totally safe from predators having the fox proof run.
All in all, eglus are the perfect choice for keeping hens. I agree with the last poster...any coop would blow away in extremes of weather but I have never had an eglu or cube blow around the garden and we have had some really bad winds over the last year. There are no issues moving them and my family are really pleased with the product.
There is also a greatly reduced risk of red mite infestations with the plastic coops.
I realise that plastic coops are not everybody's choice but please do not bad mouth them in ways that they do not deserve.
