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

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.

Different to the other eglu cube we have. Feels a bit smaller. Hens very happy in it. Instructions quite hard to follow - took a long time to build. Easy to clean.

Very happy with my Eglu Cube. The ladies in residence love it, and it's so easy to keep clean - a great and most efficient design. I'm afraid I found it difficult to put together, even with an assistant, but I seem to be in the minority there. Now that it's in use, I couldn't be happier with it.

I purchased the mobile coop to have an option for my chickens to take turns being able to move them around On 1 1/2 acres right now I have them working in the garden getting it ready for spring. I love it and they do too! Very well built and top quality materials. I was able to put it together pretty much by myself with just a little help from the husband!!

So pleased with our recent purchase of Omlet Eglu Cube. We bought the extra run with this cube and are delighted with it. It is so well made, easy to assemble and sturdy, I feel it will last for years. Previously we had a large wooden set up which we only purchased 18 month ago and although was not cheap is now living at the local rubbish dump! I would thoroughly recommend this item together with feeding accessories. Well done Omlet!!

I needed the help of my husband and kids to put it together, but now our girls have a very nice coop with an automatic door! It’s easy to clean and keeps them warm and dry.

Have had my Cube since August now and have waited to test it out before reviewing. It was a huge amount of money to spend so I did masses of research but have to say it’s been worth every penny; I love, love my Eglu, and so do my 9 Bantams (you could fit at least 5 more in the cube but only if you have a large run or can free range them). I put the cube together on my own but I was so excited that I took my time. It was easy with the fab instructions and video available and nothing was missing - a great achievement given the number of parts. The 3m run takes longer to assemble than the Cube but is fine snd is just about manoeuvrable around the garden with one person. I did find that with 9 hens the ground in run gets very quickly trashed so have since bought a 2m x 3m walk in run and then an extension snd am now about to invest in the Omlet fencing so that the girls can free range without trashing my flower beds! Once you have one Omlet product it is addictive. With hindsight I would not have bought the run extension and gone straight for the walk in run as it is quite tricky to try to crawl into the run to clean it etc and my one very minor gripe is that it would be great to have a run access door under the cube as well as at the other end fir ease of putting things into the run at that end too. I did purchase the kit ti put in a new door but have never used it as I got the walk in soon after. Fantastic product, nearly faultless company if only they were still manufactured in the UK. Great customer service. Thank you Omlet. Nearly forgot: one fabulous tip I got from the forum was to put a light inside the house; I did this on the second night snd all the girls went straight to bed!

We have had our Eglu MK II coop with the 9' run for about 2 months and have loved it. It was relatively easy to assemble - I would take their instructional advice and conduct the assembly on a flat surface with a helper, but one person can do it. It's very functional (great for the chickens) and easy to clean (great for me). Our chickens were walking into the run at dusk and into the coop itself at dark without encouragement by the second day. I haven't come up with the perfect solution to latching the run doors (the coop door is a no-brainer and the automatic open/close door accessory is handy), but the whole unit allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of how you add or subtract parts and features. All in all a great product!
