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

I'm an (almost) first time chicken keeper, and I wanted something that meets their needs, is easy to clean and moveable. The Eglu is brilliant and ticks all the boxes (apart from the cost!). It's one less star than because I feel guilty buying something made of non recycled plastic. Warning - it did take me forever to assemble although the instructions are clear and it's so well thought out. I think the handles should be included as I bought these later and they have made it so much easier to move about. Would it be possible to design in a hook to tuck the automatic door cable behind? But thanks Omlet - it's easy clean design gives me more time to enjoy my new chooks.

I’m the mother of 4 standard sized chickens living in the city. I wanted a coop that was low maintenance and durable for the girls. I looked at several wood coops but was not thrilled with the quality and unfinished interiors. I was also worried about mites and the inability to clean properly. This coop is well laid out, uses quality materials and is the answer to everything I need! We were able to put it together and wheel it into place. I am a very satisfied customer.

Great product - infinitely better than the well built wooden hen houses we've had in the past. We've had our Eglu Cube for 17 months now so can say that it's great whatever the weather. It's so easy to keep clean (even when there's mud all about) and its height off the ground is perfect for getting eggs out, for cleaning and for the hens to shelter under/make dust baths. We've added the automatic door and other Eglu products, so our girls are as happy as we are! It took us a while to buy owing to the initial cost, but it's worth every penny!

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
