Verified Reviews for Eglu Cube^® - Large Chicken Coops and Runs

Once up, this eglu cube with 2m run is a sturdy piece of kit and our hens seem very happy in it BUT.. at nearly £1,000 we really feel some sections of it could have arrived already assembled or indeed, that Omlet should offer an assembly service. The assembly booklet is over 60 diagrams long! Our views are that it is; *a two person job. * one of you needs to be physically quite agile as to assemble certain parts you have to get into small places and (at least in our case!) repeatedly need to climb over a 70cm bar. * have experience of complicated flat pack assembly The hardest part is fixing the wire mesh to the bottom section of the stand (for us, the bit under the hutch and with wheels). Once all set up however, it is robust, easy to move and as said, our chooks like it. OBSERVATIONS: 1) be handy if the wire poles (or the hooks) that close the run mesh doors were in a different colour. I’m getting on in years and struggle to see what i am doing esp. at dusk. 2) a hatch/small door would be handy under the stand at the other end of the run so that we can reach in and get a chicken that won’t go to bed! 3) the pull out tray catch is very flimsy and i cant see it lasting the test of time but all good at the moment. In summary, a good product but not easy to assemble.

we needed to look after grandchildren 6 hens for a month!!! Instead of trying to refurbish the old hen house and run we decided to go eglu as one of our daughters already had the small one in Newcastle and loved it. First night in operation hens went straight up steps to bed, 2 eggs next day and have been very happy for a week now. No doubt when hens go home we will get a few more ourselves... Eggcelent product.

With forty acres to manage and five kids in tow, Boxwood House wanted something low-maintenance that could withstand the elements and protect our Pilgrim and Guinea Fowl from predators. With the rising cost of lumbar and our harsh winters, we really didn’t want to even attempt a DIY A-Frame, that would need constant annual repair and not be nearly as aesthetically pleasing. These igloos are sturdy and should last 5 years+. We also like that they can be rolled away in our barn during heavy snows. Our fields have rolling hills, so we recommend purchasing the handles for easier transport.

Very happy with the product so far. Sturdy. Nice design.

My three rescue hens have the best home, ever, thanks to their fabulous new Eglu Cube and 3m run. The coop is large, warm, and secure, and the run gives them so much space while protecting them from predators.

We have raised poultry for 50 years. Wood coops have always been our choice for our birds, but they can be a pain to clean and after a year or two the wood begins to rot because of the nature of chicken manure so we decided to try this one out. It was easy to put together, easy to move, and is very easy to clean. We are using it for 12 Old English game bantams and could not be happier.

Our two chickens have been using the cube for a couple of weeks now and seem very happy in it. I think that one improvement would be to have a knob or notch on the internal sliding door. I find I have to reach right in to pull it open which requires me to open the rear door quite wide. This means the chickens try to get out the back. Normally, not a problem but not great when they are being kept in for avian flu purposes.

It took two of us several hours to build , but we’ll worth the effort. The finished run looks fantastic and is very sturdy. The assembly instructions are easy to follow and everything you need is included. Our chickens will love their new home.

Great product, alittle fiddly to put together but chickens well protected in it. Recently bought items, peck toys perch and have upgraded to a 4x3 walk in run. Alittle disappointed that a week later omlet were giving away a cube mk 2 winter cover with the purchase! So perhaps wait for offers before buying.

So far the cube is easy for a 5-foot-nothing middle age desk jockey to move around, and it wasn't prohibitively difficult to assemble. Cleaning is a breeze.
