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

Excellent very happy with it

Our family loves our Eglu Cube. My oldest son who is 4 helped put it together! We really like how my children are able to help maintain it. The style of it is appealing and it is more than functional and easy to open and close!

I was nervous ordering this due to brexit and it is a lot of money, but the customer service and communication was excellent. The henhouse is top quality, absolutely no regrets. The run in fine but I would like the mesh to have been a tiny bit heavier for strength. But overall it’s a great package and works really well, easy to clean, easy to move, hens love it.

I wanted to get chickens but I didn’t want to learn much or build my own coop. Although the Eglu is a little pricey I was happy with how fast the shipping was and how easy the assembly was. I just got the chicks two weeks ago so haven’t put them in there yet but I’m sure they’ll love it. Might add the electric door later.

This chicken coop is made of quality materials and so easy to build that I had my 13 year old grandson do it for me.

We bought this for 6 chickens. Two Orpingtons and four silkies. The coop is very solid, the production time to put it together was terrible. Directions were not easy to follow. It took my husband and I close to 4 hours. IF you have the time, and enjoy projects together on a sunny afternoon it is perfect.

I like the product ,but the directions were difficult to follow and it took a LONG TIME to assemble. We bought a smaller unit 7 years ago and didn't have near as many problems.

As new chicken owners, we originally purchased the Eglu Go. After having our chickens for nearly a year, we realized that it would be great to have the autodoor feature, but the autodoor doesn't work on the Go. We decided to upgrade to the Cube so we could add the auto door (and add more chickens, of course, since it's larger!). Now that I've been using the Cube for a month I realize how nice it is to have the larger coop with the seperate nest box area. It is so nice to have it up off the ground, and it is easier to clean. My advice to new chicken owners considering which Omlet coop to get: get the Cube (and add an auto door.) You think it's a lot of money, but it costs even more when you buy the small one and then want more chickens and end up upgrading less than a year later! :)

Before getting chickens I had done a lot of research around coops and runs - I chose the eglu cube and run for a few reasons. Cleaning - For me this is the most important. As it’s plastic it is SUPER easy to clean. Once a week I remove the litter tray, high pressure hose does most of the work on the inside perch and tray, then I just use a dust pan brush for some stuck on spots. Once a month I also wipe out the interior with a homemade vinegar based cleaner (you don’t want any nasty toxic fumes around your chicks) and all done! Extra time saved is more time I can spend obsessing over other chicken things like sprouting seeds, growing fresh grains etc. :D Hygine - Mites live and breed in wood. No wood = easier to control if you do get them, so far I haven’t had any. Temperature - Melbourne has varying temperatures throughout the year. I trust that the double wall insulation is doing it’s job in hot and cold Resale - JUST incase chickens didn’t work out, most eglus sell for close to the original cost It did take my chicks a couple nights to get used to the slatted type floor, I have to gently push them in a little bit for the first few nights, and put some treats in the end of the coop. After that they got the jist and now comfortably move all the way to the back if they want to. Overall this is such a great low maintenance coop for the backyard chicken owner I would never consider anything else again!

Had a wooden hen house before and wished I had bought the Eglu Cube MK2 from the start. So easy to clean and its good it is off the ground.. My girls took 4 days to get used to the ladders and we transferred the automatic door on to the Cube, which is also a great product. The Cube was easy to assemble.
