Not an Igloo… an Eglu

If you’re considering my “free chicks” offer, you might be wondering where to keep them. I found a product that takes all the prep out of poultry housing. It’s called the “Eglu Cube” and available at Omelet USA.

With the Eglu cube, you canĀ  keep up to 10 chickens on a farm, suburban lawn or even small city yard. It’s plastic, with a slide out dropping tray, nest boxes, hose clean surfaces and insulated walls. You can attach a 6′ steel weldmesh chicken run, and extend that in 3′ increments.

The company says it’s fox proof, but I don’t believe anyone can keep a hungry fox away from a tasty chicken.

The Goodlife

The new eglu cube.

So, nothing is free, and this isn’t exactly cheap. The “no run” version runs $775, the standard run is $995, and standard run with extension is $1,250. But, if you don’t want to fool with building a coop, this will have you an and running in no time. Best of all, you have color options: green, orange, red, blue or HOT PINK!
