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

Very please with our new Eglu, I was quite time consuming to put together and would have been difficult on ones own but the instructions generally clear. Our 3 new pullets settled in quickly, learnt to use the ladder and 'go to bed' unaided. The removeable dropping tray is a really useful feature making keeping the Eglu clean very easy. The only improvement I would make would be to add some handles to make wheeling it about easier. Otherwise very well designed and constructed.

I upgraded from a classic Eglu to the Cube, as I had increased my stock of hens. Arrived in well marked boxes, but the building manual could have been a bit clearer, more step-by-step instructions (to avoid the rooky mistakes - using the wrong screws/hinges etc.), but does have good pictures and we did eventually finish making the Cube and run. I felt that the run was more complicated than it needed to be also, it would be better produced in less joining pieces (as in the Eglu run). Also, I would say that the basic two metre model, needs to have an extra half meter or metre added as standard, as my hens (not having been used to using a ladder) fly down the ladder and hit the end of the run. Saying this, I love the Cube as it is easy to clean out at a sensible height. I would buy Omlet products in preference to wooden hen houses every time, as the hens live more healthily - my girls have never had any mites or leg scales. Quite an expensive initial outlay, but they are worth every pound, as I know that my girls are safe from predators at night and that they are living in the best hen houses money can buy.

Very happy with our purchase so far! No issues putting it together and it looks great.

I am so glad that I made the investment to get the Omlet Cube coop. My five chickens will be ready to go outside in about one week and I will have no worries with them being in this coop. It is very secure and you can tell the materials are high quality. I've been checking every time it rains to make sure no water gets in and it is dry as a bone! It was a bit of a project to put together, but I was able to do most of it by myself. The only part I needed my husband's help for were some of the little clips. Everything else, I did on my own. It took me the better part of two days to assemble - probably would have been less if there were two people doing it and one of them was handy with tools. I do wish the coop came in more color options (an earthtone would be nice). Also, if the run doors were a bit larger, it would be easier for me to get in there to do whatever I need to do. I have the 9 foot run. Overall, a very well built coop that beats any wooden coop that I've ever seen. I love that it is low maintenance and looks like it will last forever! The chicks are doing to LOVE it.

We have had ours for a couple of yrs now. A brilliant bit of kit. So easy to clean when due for their bedding change etc. Then regularly remove it from the base, into the garden with it and jet wash it thoroughly. Would def recommend.

We had been contemplating the Eglu Cube for some years, and now that we have it, I wish we'd bought it sooner. We also have the automatic door, so we get to lie in in summer - yay! It was beautifully packaged, easy to assemble, and all bits were present. Our girls love it too, which is the important thing.

Great coop, worth the money. Took me about 3 hours to assemble myself. Consider getting the wheels if you think you'll every want to move it

We got this, plus another 3 ft. run extension, and we have extremely happy chickens. They spend the entire day, every day, in the run, and never go into the coop except at night to sleep. When we are outside (so we can keep an eye on them), we open the door to the run so that they can explore the yard, but a lot of times they are perfectly happy to just stay in the run. The wheels (plus the run handles), make it very easy to move. I was able to move the entire setup to a new spot by myself without much trouble. The coop itself is bit small if you have the maximum number of chickens that Omlet says can fit, but they only sleep in there, so it's not too big of a deal. My favorite thing about the coop is how easy it is to clean. I was amazed. I pulled out the tray, dumped the shavings, pulled out the perch floor, sprayed everything off, let it dry, and put it back in. It was about a 10 minute process. Keep a chicken coop clean isn't supposed to be this easy!

Had the Eglu cube for 2 years now. Functions perfectly and still good as new. So easy to clean which I have found key to happy ,healthy hens. Remember the wooden coops I had to clean as a boy. An onerous task difficult to do well. This job is now done to highest of standards with very little effort

I love the Cube, it has made keeping hens so easy and so enjoyable! I now have 2 Cubes, it takes me about 5 minutes to clean them out as it is so straightforward. The hens also stay so much healthier in them than in traditional wooden coops - they don’t suffer from extremes of temperature, the house stays nice and dry even when it rains heavily and my hens are much happier and much more productive! I would highly recommend - if you have or are thinking of having hens then definitely house them in the Cube. I’ve upgraded both of mine with auto-doors which work brilliantly all year round.
