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

I originally wanted this coop but thought it too big for my garden. I ended up later buying the Mk2 as I needed an automatic door so my daughter wouldn’t have to come in the dark and one does not fit the smaller coop. I think to might have been able to make a frame but no time. The Mk 2 is far superior and really takes up no significant extra space. The hens use the nesting area which they didn’t in the smaller one. It’s easier to clean and altogether a better purchase. Just sorry I wasted money but learned to follow my instinct maybe now!

The cube is probably too big for my 2 bantam hens but chicken maths will kick in and it'll be great to add to the flock. Keeps them nice and warm (tested with a digital thermometer, stayed above zero when it was minus 1/2/3 outside. Easy to clean, open and collect eggs. Its feels safe for them. Only slight issue is rain dripping down through the door turner, but its only at the very front and is because I have a waterproof leading down to that area, Im sure it wouldn't be as bad if the coop was stand alone. I found it was easy to put together by myself, took a while with the stand but feels nice and sturdy. Love that I can add an auto door at a later date.

Oh how I love this coop! I upgraded from the Eglu to give my ladies more space (and perhaps sneak in a couple more) and I’m so impressed with it. It’s really big and incredibly sturdy. We set it up with the automatic door and the coop light and it’s so funny to watch them plodding towards the light at bedtime! There’s a lovely big laying area so they aren’t squabbling over it, and they seem to be warm and toasty at night. It’s so much more straightforward to clean out without having to stoop down. We have ours attached to the walk in run and it’s making chicken keeping an absolute pleasure.

Got it together. Now waiting on chicks! I am planing on 6 hens.

This coop is first class - superb design - easy to keep clean - great idea just having one long nest box ---- my ladies just love it - highly recommend - expensive, but worth every pound ----- [the quality remains long after the cost is forgotten] - no doubt, the Merceds Benz of Coops!

The Eglu Cube has been great! It's a bit pricey but I'm finding the convenience is worth it. I love the slide-out droppings tray and how easy it is to clean the whole coop. The hens are a small breed and the coop holds all twelve comfortably. They pile up together and there's still plenty space available. We've had some below freezing temps and the girls seem just fine. The space holds their body heat well. Moving it is a breeze and I can do it on my own. I like that the auto door fits it seamlessly. Two minor issues, though - 1) the steps leading into the coop are slick and my hens have a hard time gripping them, along with the interval being too widely spaced for short legs. Most of them leap from the ground to the top few steps and flap inside before losing footing. The other is the run door "lock". The pin that holds the run door shut is loose and easy to remove. In an area with nimble-fingered raccoons, like mine, these could potentially be inadequate. As a precaution, I've put locking carabiners on the door to make it more difficult for them. So glad to have this coop! I'd definitely get another one!

This is my second Cube and third Omlet coop and they are perfect for living on an orchard. The coops themselves are really sturdy and have withstood wind, rain, storms and snow. They keep the chooks warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They do take a while to put together but this again is testament to their sturdiness. Omlet is my go to for all my chook related purchases.

This coop and automatic door are fantastic. Truly the the best instructions and easiest assembly of any project I have ever purchased. Very nice quality. I wish I bought this coop years ago.

I bought this coop in the spring of 2020, and absolutely, positively LOVE it! It currently houses 4 medium sized hens, and likely 2-3 more medium sized hens this coming summer. It is so easy to move, clean, and fits well into the style of your yard. I bought the 6’ run originally, and then a 3’ extender for the run as I like my girls to have more space than recommended. If I get 2-3 more, my preference would be to get the larger walk in run as well. The predator proofing is proving to be excellent, as we have various birds of prey, fox, skunks, weasels, badgers and cougars nearby who haven’t even attempted a break in. The girls love their nest box and always lay in it, and the roost area is spacious and comfortable in both Montana summer and winter months. Even when I expand to a slightly larger flock that will require a larger coop set up, I will always keep this coop as a “back up” to nurse sick or keep broody hens, as well as to introduce new members to my existing flock! I also want to give a shout out to Omlet’s customer support- they are awesome! I ordered the “Extreme Temperature Jacket” and it wasn’t set to be dispatched until Feb of 2021, and upon emailing them my concern as Montana winters can be harsh and sudden, they promptly shipped it and it arrived in September 2020 as I had hoped. Excellent coop, excellent company.

I have 4 mini's - a Mom and her 3 foster babies from the feed store. They aren't accepted into my large coop with the 5 big girls so they were living in a large dog crate covered in a horse blanket out in the run-in shed with the horse and donkeys (this is where she decided to go broody). With winter coming to OK, I wanted them in something more secure, warmer and portable. This genius coop answered all my needs. It took my daughter and I about 6 hours to put it together. Easy to follow directions, but it is painstaking and you need to be exact. Don't assume that you can go out of order...you can not. The 6' of run is ridiculously sturdy when it is moved, and after about 5" of rain, it has been moved a lot. Not because the rain comes in, the coop and the included cover keeps the girls dry from incoming rain well, but our ground is saturated. Neither my cats nor the dogs can get under the run skirt to bother the girls while they are inside the coop, which means that they are also safe from the coyote that run rampant in my area. My only complaint is that the included food pan, while large, deep and covered, is a bit too deep for my little girls to get all the way into so I have to keep it very full so they can reach it. It would be nice if you offered a more shallow pan for the smaller breeds. I have bragged about this coop to everyone I know. While I live on 40 acres and my girls are all free range during the day and only coop at night, I have told all of my suburb and city dwelling friends that this is their answer to having chickens in their backyards. The cost is only slightly above what can be bought at the local feed store and includes the run. The engineering is above and beyond anything else on the market - and you can't beat the shipping cost!
