Overall the system is okay for a very small flock but there are more bad points of the Eglu system than good.Good: Cleaning is easy; parasitic bugs are not an issue.Bad: Cleaning must be done daily to reduce moisture, especially in winter since moisture can cause frostbite for combs and wattles.Good: Pretty well insulated.Bad: No room for more than four regular sized chickens.The vent facing the run cannot be cleaned!The pen add-on is nice but once added the system can’t be moved. We tried with our tractor and skid and I thought it was going to fall apart!Pen add-on is expensive and must be cleaned regularly. The pen is truly essential because the run is too small.Just four hens can destroy the grass in a few days. I bought it so I could move the chickens around the property!The biggest downside is if sub-zero weather with ice comes, as it did last winter, you cannot keep the hens in the Cube for days!! I had to move the Cube and Run into the barn for a week and build a cardboard box pen for them because I could not put the pad heater in the Cube and close it up! That would be cruel!It’s too small and has zero light/electric outlet available.I only have four hens. I started with eight but had to give half away!! This reduces our desired egg output and I spent the money to buy and raise them to adulthood.I have the middle model.If I were to do it over, I would have an old fashioned hen house.
