Verified Reviews for Eglu Cube® - Large Chicken Coops and Runs
All around convenient and innovative coop!
Prior to receiving my hens, I did massive chicken coop research. In fact, I exhausted every internet blog and review site there was. I knew I wanted a coop that was portable, easy to clean, and large enough for my hens. Hands down, after a few months of owning the Omlet Eglu Cube, I can confidently say this is the BEST coop I've ever purchased.
For starters, the plastic material is painless to clean. A hose and towel allow you to clean the coop in minutes. The box under the roasting bars collects droppings and easily slides out. Be sure to utilize the chicken waste! It makes for great compost for the garden! After a good clean (which I do once a week), I use the wheel attachment to move the coop to a different section of the yard.
Additionally, the size of the coop is great! I did a 2m run attachment so that when I'm at work (and the girls have to stay in the coop) they have room to stretch their wings and graze with ease. The food container that Omlet supplies with a coop purchase is another innovative product! Even with a terrible rain storm, the food stays dry.
I highly suggest purchasing the Omlet chicken fencing with the coop. The fence can be quickly moved around the yard and contains chickens in a specific area for free range. Great add-on for when you want to let your chickens out of the coop!
Thank you, Omlet! Ingenious coop design with ultimate practicality.

Omlet eglu Cube
I love my omlet set up, I have two rescues from The Hens Trust and an Andalusian Grey who is 6 years old, I have mobility problems and cleaning and using the Eglu Cube is very easy for me, I like the nest box and they took to it immediately going in to lay their eggs. I have a sunshade and weatherproofs for under the run, I went for a 2 metre run and have the 12 Metere netting surrounding it so they can free range, With the heavy rain we had I put the heavy duty windbreak over the top and this seems to keep the rain out.
Very pleased with my purchase.

Great Coop
I must say, so far I love the coop. It was easy to assemble and maintain. We actually fit 12 chickens, mostly Ameraucanas, in ours and they have plenty of room. Have had a few hot days recently and the coop has been cool for them at night. Looking forward to see how it does in a Buffalo winter. Also bought a walk-in pen but have not been able to assemble yet. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is due to the delays in receiving my products without updates from the company. I had to inquire each time to figure out why there were delays in delivery, without the company giving me updates that items were out of stock. My coop was a couple weeks delayed, but the fence was about a month delayed. Each time I reached out to customer service they were friendly and able to answer my questions. Overall very satisfied and just ordered a second coop for the chickens we are adopting from another farm!

Easy to assemble. Paint/powdercoat on steel work scratches easily
Straight forward to assemble, all parts were well wrapped, due to the size I had to put it together on the patio, care was taken not to slide it about but the green powdercoat/paint still scratched through to the bare metal (it appears to be very soft!) will have to see if the rest stands up to the salt air of a Greatstone winter?

Manufacturing problem on one part
There was a small manufacturing problem on one part of the cube - a bolt hole wasn't formed correctly. i let Omlet know by email and I had a replacement part within 24 hours! Really exceptional customer service.

Review of the product
Everything was included in the shipment, which was a lot!! It was pretty well laid out. There were a couple of places where there were questions on assembly, but the online video was a good supplement to the assembly process. So far, after three weeks of usage, everything seems to be working well. aut

Cube mark 2
Took 6 hours to build but that was the worst part. Easy to clean and well thought out my 3 hens love it.

Chickens are safe at last
No more worries of wood rot. Well designed coop and run. I wished there was a roost bar for inside as I don't like that they crouch on the slotted floor, which is almost always coated with their droppings, so I created one and that helps. We will have to watch the plastic fasteners to make sure they hold up over time

Not so sure its worth the expense...
It was very fiddly to build. With the 3m run, it is not easy to move around. Clips fall off every time we move It. The guage of the mesh is not small enough to keep out mice. Other than than It is easy to clean.

Omlet response:
Hi Michelle,
Re the clips they shouldn't fall off when you move it, I wonder if you have them on properly, as usually they are exceptionally difficult to get off the run. I will email you regarding them. Re the mesh to keep out mice, the mice are attracted to the food, it is best not to throw food on the ground or give them too much that they don't eat it all and mice won't be encouraged to come.
