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

I bought this about a month ago, and so far it's proving to be a solid coop. Some of my hens do not like the roosting area, they prefer to be able to lay down in bedding but the roosting area is all bars to roost on. I just put some hay in the back half so they can lay there, otherwise most of them want to sleep in the egg box area. I'm not going to lie, this coop is a bear to put together. The instructions do not specify for instance that you have to put the run together BEFORE you finish putting the coop together, so I had to take it apart once I found a youtube video to explain that. Also, the parts were numbered incorrectly, so locating which part I was supposed to be using wasn't always easy. The part would have one number on it, and the manual wouldn't show any parts with that number, the number wouldn't exist, so I had to match up the pictures. They must have changed numbers with a new manual and mis-printed. I would expect with the expense of this coop that it would be seamless, it wasn't. Also, the run is held together with twist ties and plastic clips. I was shocked to see this, when I consider how expensive this coop was, I would have expected that Omlet would splurge on stainless steel ties at the very least, not plastic. I don't expect the plastic to last long in the Florida sun. For this reason, i give the run a thumbs down, it doesn't feel safe. The coop itself is safe and strong and user-friendly. We are going to change out all the cheap zip ties to stainless steel and hope for the best on the run. I am wondering if we add on the larger walk in run, if it will be help together with cheap plastic zip ties and plastic clips as well. That would be very tough to set up, and for the high cost of the walk-in run, I would expect more. This will be a factor in whether we bother to expand the run with Omlet, or go with a much less expensive chain link, that will be held together with stronger material.

Was tricky to build on my own, but now it looks great and I'm sure my chickens will be really happy and safe in it.

We love this coop! This was an upgrade from the wooden one we built when we first got chickens 6 years ago. It was decent, but after 6 years in the elements, it needed to be replaced. But with two little kids, we needed something simple to put together. This coop was easy to assemble, the chickens love it, and it seems easy to clean! It feels like it will hold up to the elements well too. It took two adults and one 3 year old about 4 hours to assemble (and that includes time looking for the screwdriver when it had to help blow bubbles in the strawberry patch)

I really love my Eglu Cube. The instructions to put it together were really good and I like that it's so easy to clean and to access the egg and roosting compartment. Most important I feel confident my hens are safe at night. I particularly wanted something I could move easily around my garden on my own every couple of days, but I find it a struggle to hitch the wheels up and to move with the run attached, and it is not easy to remove the run once it's been attached.

I heard about this product when I was talking to someone in the park and he was saying how fantastic it was. I bought the 3 metre one for my three chooks. I put it together whilst being locked up with covid. I did have a few hiccups putting it together where I didn’t understand the instructions and because I open one box at a time and started construction of each box I didn’t find the complete instructions until the last box. Each box has its own instructions for that part so I was using my iPad to construct which was a bit of a pain so I would suggest you find the complete book before you embark on this project. The hutch is very sturdy and once I got into the swing of it it was not too bad to complete. Fortunately if you make a mistake it to easy to fix because the plastic joiners are easy to I click. I highly recommend this product and now that my chook are used to it they love it.

Expensive coop and instructions are very vague pictures with no step by step instructions. . Video on youtube isn’t the best as there is no one explaining assembly. For a first time chicken Mom I feel there needs to be a better guide to step by step assembly and better video. Clips are super hard to clip together and lots of pieces.

I love it. So easy to clean. Well thought out design, so easy to access everything. So happy with this I’m going to order the auto door.

I bought this for my 4 newer chicks that are not old enough to sleep with the original 4 that are 2 months older. The 4 learned to get into their "home" in 2 days. Very excited about them loving their new home

Love the quality of the material. very easy to clean. good height for access. chicken adapted to it within one night. Only down side if it would be better if the side of the run can add doors.

My Eglu Cube, automatic door, wheels and fencing are just amazing! It all came so well packaged with easy instructions. I put it together by myself even though I am 68! I now have a beautiful chicken coop that is a breeze to clean.The automatic door works a treat, my chickens are out in the run and happy by the time I get out of bed! The customer service provided is above and beyond. I lost some chickens to a fox so my order was prioritised resulting in decreased stress for me and safe chickens. I cannot "Thank" Omlet enough for this great product and "Wonderful service".
