Customer Reviews

Our two rabbits are delighted with their new home, they feel secure and because the Omlet hutch and run can be easily moved, they constantly have fresh grass underneath their run. Only criticism is that the ground wire under the run that stops the rabbits from burrowing out could be a bit larger so it could be tied together with the run then the whole thing could be moved as one.

Absolutely perfect for my two male guinea pigs. Warm, dry and cosy. Couldn't be better. Thank you.

I have tried home made wooden coops, Rubbermaid plastic type large shed just like on you tube which I modified to suit and a metal walk in shed. It took me 2 years to finally decide to buy the Eglu. By far, this Eglu Cube Mk 2 (no run, no wheels) has been the best coop so far. I've had it about 5 weeks now. I have 8 chickens (4 Australorps, 1 Isa Brown, 2 Hyline Browns, 1 Aurucana) The set up took a while (2 1/2 hours) and it helps to have 2 people but not impossible with one person. The only CON I found is in the set up. You have to take your time and be precise with screwing in the screws. I almost finished and got to my second last screw installing the square metal roof plate which joins the 2 roof panels together, when the screw burred and now it's stuck. Can't get screw out or further in. There are 4 screw holes in this roof plate, so I managed to get 3 screws in successfully and 1 quarter of the way in. I contacted Omlet Australia who contacted Omlet UK who said it was my user error burring the screw and that it won't affect the water seal or functionality of the coop. They said there is a thick rubber seal that sits between the 2 roof panels and as long as you have most of the screws in, it will still be ok. I did a water test and put a couple of buckets over the roof from the outside to check for leaks and surprisingly it is water tight. Whilst I'm not happy about having a burred screw, there is nothing I can do about it. So please take your time to line up your panels and screws before you screw them in and go slow and gentle. Other than the small hiccup with my burred screw during set up, everything about this coop is amazing. It is very easy and quick to clean, the poo just drops down through the slats no problem, I haven't found it to get stuck on the slats. The chickens look comfortable sitting on the slats. The nest area is great, enough room for 3 chickens at a time and I have seen 3 in there comfortably. I haven't had to use the sliding nest door as my chickens don't sleep in the nest luckily but it's good that there is a door if needed. I was worried there would't be enough room for all my chickens inside as they are all full size and the inside area does look small, but all 8 chickens sleep comfortably inside huddled together for warmth and there is still room for 2 more chickens which would be squishy but still enough room for them to turn or move around to get comfortable, but I wouldn't put any more than 10. I'm actually very surprised for the size that it is actually enough room. The ladder is great and the chickens haven't had problems going up/down, even my Aurucana who has deformed feet has no problem using the ladder. The functionality and use of this coop is very user friendly. Checking for eggs is so easy and removing the poo tray or the back panel is easy too and makes cleaning a breeze. I just hose it down and if it's cold I'll wipe it dry, otherwise leave to air dry before putting tray back in. My chickens took about 1 day to get used to going into it. I did have to put them inside myself the first night, but I think that would be for any coop. After that they took to it no problem. They seem to be very happy and comfortable. I think it's warm enough in the colder weather and I sometimes close the door when it gets windy at night. The main door is easy to open/close. I'll be waiting to see how the Cube performs in hot weather but I think there is enough ventilation in there. Siting it in the shade during hot weather will help. Overall, I am very very satisfied with the Cube and the customer service and think it's money well spent even though it cost me $919 (including delivery NSW to Melbourne VIC) It was delivered overnight which I was impressed with. This Cube could just win on the fact of how super easy it is to maintain and clean as cleaning the coop is the main and most important and frustrating part of keeping chickens.

Yesterday with a friend I put together this product. There are three chickens in it , not quite at point of lay and they love it. Emily, Charlotte n Sofie. Their first am they came down the ladder, non too elegantly. It will be interesting if tonight they put themselves to b d in their 2 storey castle. I love it

Seem to be made out of strong plastic. Screwing them to the ground just by hand seems to be easy. I have only used them for 3 weeks now, so I don't know if the pegs last long time or not. I hope that they do.

I initially thought £50 for a pair of wheels was too expensive when purchasing my Eglu Go Up. I have 4 teenage boys to help me move the coop so I thought I would save the money. However the skirt on the run makes the coop quite tricky to move, and it's all rather heavy even with all 4 boys helping, so after a few months I purchased the wheels. BEST DECISION EVER! Moving the coop is a doddle now, and I love being able to give my girls a fresh patch of grass every few weeks without having to round up any helpers - the wheels really do make moving the coop easy for one person to manage alone. Well worth the cost!

good product & prompt delivery thank you

I bought this eglu go up with the run extension as a birthday present for my wife. The quality is very good and the chickens took to it straight away. I wish I had bought one in the first place as we have spent a lot over the years on wooden ones that always leak and need maintenance. It took a lot longer to put together than I thought it would. I recommend people not very good at diy to spend a bit extra to get it delivered from Omlet and built by them, but it's very warm and dry and draught proof.

Very happy with this Eglu. Easy to clean and use. Might extend the handles a little to make it easier to push them down and wheel it around but we are really pleased with it all!

5 stars for my Omlet chicken house and run. My 5 year old granddaughter helped me put it together. The only problem I found is the door at the rear could do with a slide hinge as we let the chickens out round the garden to put 3 birds away at end of the day ends up being a 2 person job. But what ease to clean I would recommend it to any one with a small garden as it's on wheels!
