Eglu Cube - Chicken Coop for 6 Large Hens

Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on what you have ordered and where you live, your Eglu Cube is normally with you within 3-4 working days of your estimated dispatch date. You will receive an email with tracking links once the order has been dispatched from our warehouse, and you can always track the order using the link in the confirmation email.

Once the coop has arrived, the house will take a couple of hours to assemble, and the run an additional hour or so, depending on which size run you have chosen. Your Eglu Cube comes with a comprehensive instruction manual that takes you through the assembly process, and you can also watch this step-by-step How to build video.

The Eglu Cube has twin wall insulation that works in a similar way to a flask. The coop retains the heat produced by your chickens to keep them warm in winter, and stops the cold air from penetrating the walls. How warm it will be inside depends on how many chickens you have in the coop, and whether or not you have left the door open.

Similarly, the insulation will keep the coop cool in the heat. This, in combination with excellent draft-free ventilation that circulates fresh air throughout the house and the possibility to move the coop into a shaded spot in your backyard means the Cube will be a relaxing, cool space for your flock to return to on hot days.

If you live somewhere very cold, an Extreme Weather Cover is a great addition to add extra protection to your setup. The cover keeps the coop warmer for longer, and is especially useful if you’re only keeping a few chickens in your Cube, as the body heat from huddling together in a larger group will help your hens stay warm during cold winter nights.

The metal chicken runs are designed to be used outdoors for years to come. However, we recommend that you check the run regularly for signs of corrosion, especially if you live somewhere with extreme weather conditions or close to the sea. Corrosion will occur if the coating has been scratched or scraped for example. If you do see some, remove any loose rust and touch up with a weather resistant paint. If you have covers on your run and experience heavy snowfall it's advised you clear the snow off the roof to avoid the panels being damaged from the weight.

The strong materials and thought out design of the Eglu Cube makes it extremely hard for predators to get to your pets.

That being said, no coop is 100% predator proof. Check the coop and run regularly to make sure all features are working as intended, including latches, doors and run clips. If you live in an area with lots of predators, including wild cats, dingoes and possums, as well as smaller animals like minks, weasels, snakes and rats, you might want to consider adding additional protection to the run.

The size of run you need depends on how many chickens you have, what chickens you have (breed/size/personality), and how much they are allowed to roam free outside the run. Always aim to give your chickens as much space as you can, either by letting them free range in the garden or backyard or by getting a bigger Walk in run attached to the run of your coop. If you're not able to extend further, try moving the coop and run as often as possible or changing the soil or wood chips regularly. If you're having difficulty deciding what run size to get, feel free to contact our customer service team who will be happy to help!

While the Eglu Cube doesn’t have traditional wooden perches, it has specially designed roosting bars with a structured surface and rounded corners where the chickens will sleep comfortably at night.

Roosting bars allow the chickens to grip onto something while they sleep, which makes them feel safe and comfortable. As they climb up into the Cube to roost, they also get the reinforced feeling of being off the ground. Although they don’t look like traditional wooden perches, roosting bars are great for larger breeds who find it tricky to jump up to a raised perch, or recently rescued hens who don’t have the strength to flap, and the shape of the bars makes sure most of the droppings fall straight onto the removable tray underneath.

The Eglu Cube house is suitable for chicks over the age of 12 weeks. We recommend you remove the roosting bars from inside the coop until the chicks are big enough to perch and walk across the bars safely. The Eglu run is not suitable for chicks under the age of 12 weeks without supervision due to risk of escape and predators. Chicks may struggle with the ladder to begin with while they are small, so you may wish to lift them in and out of the coop yourself, or convert the ladder to a ramp. You should use plenty of bedding in the coop to keep the chicks warm, and change the bedding every few days.

"The Eglu Cube is easy to maintain, handy and just the right height. My chickens can enjoy it all year round thanks to its brilliant insulation system. The autodoor is a big plus safety-wise and allows me to leave on short trips without worry. I highly recommend it."

Tonielle,
Built my village (4 cubes and 1 pro) in time for the cyclone rain to hit. All my crue are up off the ground and dry. Such a nice improvement! All of a sudden instead of running around in the rain catching chickens I can sit inside and watch them safe in they’re cabins warm and dry :)

Craig,
Our 4 girls simply love their Eglu. The 3m run and cover is great for bad weather, and we've even added a 3m camping shade as well, for some extra coverage on hot days (which are definitely common in Qld, Australia). The addition of the Auto Door after a few months is very handy, but we still go out to check the girls every once in a while. Huntsman spiders love the coop too and every morning when we clean and check the poop tray, the girls are right in there with us for a tasty snack. So much easier to clean than our old wooden coop. Definitely glad we purchased.

Lovely medium size coop
Jennifer, Texas,
After "falling in love" with my first Omlet, the Eglu Go Up, I decided it was time to replace my homemade wooden coops with Omlet products. This coop and run combo works perfectly for my bantam barnvelders. Like the other products, super easy to clean and extremely durable.

Great Coop!
Marcus,
We have had our Eglu Cube for a couple years and are extremely happy with it! My sister's wood coop has to have parts replaced every year, but our Cube is still like new; she wishes she had one! My wife's and my daughter cleans it about once a week in about 15 minutes, start to finish! The only part we replaced was the controller for the autodoor to upgrade to the smart controller.
