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

The cube was very easy to build and all the pieces are good quality.

After purchasing the Go coop and finding it so easy to keep clean and access I decided to upgrade to the Iglu Mk2 so that I could have the auto door which was not possible with the Go. It would also mean I could use it for all my hens as it’s bigger. The cube, as it’s named, was better with a separate large nesting area. My only suggestion to improve the cube would be to reduce the nesting area size and enlarge the roosting area and definitely improve the ladder. I believe I have the newer improved ladder but my hens do not like it and favour their old coop with a solid ramp. I wish Omlet did an even larger coop than the cube because I’d certainly buy it. So easy to clean. The customer service is above and beyond !

Great coop. Haven’t used it yet as chicks are still too small. Great instructions and easy to put together

Five years ago I brought home 3 baby chicks and they lived in the brooder in my garage while my husband built a coop. I looked at buying the Eglu then but Hubby was determined to build the coop himself.We are now building a new house and cannot take the old coop with us-I immediately ordered the Eglu.I can easily move it so the chickens get new grass to nibble on while I can clean the coop.The coop has been out in the rain but the chickens and their food stayed dry.I love everything about the Eglu! My chickens look happy as well.

Not the easiest of things to put together, especially if you buy the additional automatic doors etc and they don't all arrive at the same time but after some mild cursing it was up and it's really sturdy. I can see it's going to be lovely and easy to keep clean too which is the most important thing for the girls.

Easy to move. Very comfortable.

Very happy with this coop. Fox proof (hooray!) and my girls seem to be quite comfortable at night. It's solid and sturdy, and comfortably holds my four within the nesting area, where they also prefer to sleep. Adding the auto door was a great idea, as it has saved us worrying if we are late putting the girls to bed or letting them out and we know they're safe and warm.

Ordered our Cube, plus lots of "essentials" in January, it was delivered within a few days. Customer support team were also so helpful. Held back for 6 weeks before reviewing, as I wanted to have some time to get used everything. Its not cheap, BUT its a fantastically well designed Coop and run. I first got our 5 hens in November, soon realised the wooden Coop and run I bought was not really suitable. ( Although it was designed for up to 10 Hens ) it was cramped, started to leak water and horrendous to clean, I dreaded the cleaning. Now we have a Cube, clearly designed by chicken owners, incredibly well made, the girls have plenty of room, its a dream to move with the wheel kit, extremely easy to clean, its now a pleasure to do. With the slide out tray, its quickly emptied, a quick wash and all done. Deep cleaning the whole Coop is also easy, just a few minutes longer. The Cube Coop and Run is so well made, very easy to assemble, to be frank it took a little longer than I anticipated, but its straight forward and the instructions and online video's are great. We opted for the 3m run, plus auto door opener, with the internal Coop light, plus a perch. Everything is extremely robust, very easy to move around the garden on your own. We have 5 hens, due to the bad weather its mostly on a hard standing, with wood chips. Some other reviewees have stated that once you have one Omlet product it is addictive. That's so true, but all I can say is "Buy Cheap, Buy Twice" - sadly I did purchase a wooden setup which now stands empty. With hindsight I should have bought the Omlet in the first instance. A separate access door under the cube, would be useful but as a work around I take out the poop tray and perch, to move the wood chips. The auto door and light works a treat, a few minutes before bed time the Coop lights up, so the girls know they have a few more minutes before the door Auto-closes. One night two stayed out too long, after a while I let them in, ever since they have all made sure they are inside ! Now every night the ladies go straight to bed! As the light is changing, the sensor adjusts, perfect. Now we can rest assured they are safe at night, then let out as soon as its light in the morning. They must be Happy Hens as were getting more eggs now !

I bought my 'Omlet MK2 coup & walk in run August 2020. I had never owned chickens before & did a lot of research on the subject before I purchased anything. I had been put off buying a wooden coup due to the lice & mite issues however, when I come across Omlet I was thrilled. It was a lot of money but as I was planning on having chickens for the long haul, I felt it was better to invest in something that was going to have longevity. The only criticisms I have, is that I didn't find it easy to put together & the instructions were confusing, also the clips to put the walk in run together were terrible, I ended up using bag ties instead. However I have to say I am impressed with the product. It's easy to clean, the chickeroos let themselves in & out morning & night as I bought the automatic door (a must for anyone who like me, struggles with early mornings.) One thing I wish Omlet would sell, are clear tarpaulins as I have found these very hard to get. I have tarpaulins but they make the cage dark & they are a must to keep weather issues at bay. I would Definitely recommend Omlet to anyone who is thinking of getting chooks. Lastly, I bought some fencing to enclose the girls but found I didn't need it & there was no issues with returns.

I love my Eglu Cube! Great for the Texas weather. Keeps my chickens safe from the elements. Will be buying another one day I’m sure! These things are built to last. My silkies haven’t figured out the ladder yet and it’s been a few weeks. So I have to put them away each night. My bantams go in no problem. The plastic ladder pieces don’t stay on, replacing mine with adhesive traction tape.
