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

Easy to clean but despite the wheels difficult to move with the run attached.

I've had the cube a while now and it is pretty much excellent. Easy to clean and comfortable for the hens. We have 8 chickens and a cockerel and they all fit in comfortably at night. There is the occasional squabble for room during laying, but the hens soon sort themselves out. Only downside (and reason for losing half a star) is the big hole in the laying area. Good for cleaning, but a pain in the neck for bedding which disappears through it like water down a plug hole. Some sort of fitted plug would be really useful, Omlet. I have stuffed newspaper in hours! Overall, I would defintely recommend the Cube.

Der Hühnerstall ist super!

This chicken house is superb, exactly what we wanted as we upgraded from a cheaper wooden structure. The Installation instructions were very easy to follow, it took two of us 3 hours to complete. The 5 hens we have settled into their new accommodation instantly and there was no loss of egg production! The layout of the house makes it easy to clean (with the wooden house we had persistent problems with red spider mites). The only downside was the attitude of the Parcel force delivery driver, there was slight superficial damage seemingly due to malhandling. Overall its been an excellent purchase well worth every penny, many thanks!

We have 4 ex batts (and 2 more joining soon) and this is just about the right size fo them. I wouldn't have more that this living there. I collected from the Omlet Warehouse and the staff were really helpful and loaded my car for me. I managed to get it all unloaded and started to assemble it myself but to be honest, it's a 2 person job. Some of the instructions are a bit vague (when adding on the run extension, it's not clear whether the support bar goes inside or out...it's inside and really fiddly to do) Having said that, it was up fairly quickly and we've since added some Omlet fencing to give the hens a bit more space to roam around in. It's so easy to clean, takes me about 20 minutes for a full clean and change of bedding. The only thing the hens just can't get the hang of is the ladder. We've resorted to a gravel board as their access to the house. It's just too far off the ground for them to make the jump. Anyway, thanks Omlet...brilliant stuff and i have to confess a bit addicted to your products now!

Just assembled our new cube house. Took me much longer than the two hours stated. You can tell it's a quality product and very sturdy. It's quite simplistic design should see it lasting a good many years before any problems arise. The cube house is not much good without at least one possibly two extensions which boosts the price up that much, that this house is fantastic for the chickens but it is very difficult to justify the total cost. Saying that you know the price before you buy and what you get is probably the best chicken house you can buy.

Give yourself time to put together as its not easy, but once done well worth it. Our chickens took to it right away after being in a wood coop. The ladder could almost do with another rung but put a log under it and no problems. We got an extra extension which although not cheap for the cube makes a big difference to the room for chickens and overall look. Would recommend.

Really good but you definitely need some additional space for your chooks! Easy to clean and use and the chooks put themselves to bed after only one day so they must like it too!

I spent many months researching the housing available for my three beautiful girls in advance of moving to a property with a much smaller garden. I chose the Eglu Cube because it looked sturdy while flexible enough to add additional run space. I wasn't disappointed. In fact I am thrilled. It took very little time to erect. The ladder wasn't really a problem - I put a large stone at the bottom for my girls to use as a launch pad. They love it because it is spacious. I love it because cleaning only takes 5 minutes now. It is fox proof. The feeder protects their food from the rain. It is absolutely the best!

It has just withstood the test of 80 mph winds and sweeping sideways rain on our south west facing Welsh hillside, with flying colours! It stood firm and with the heavy duty Cube run cover in place, no leakage what so ever. We are VERY impressed. The internal "guttering"works well and is great design. The house is well ventilated but warm. So easy to keep clean. We will never return to wood! Most important the chix love it. As we put together our Cube and walk in run they showed great interest and hung out with us, taking peaks inside. Their 12 year old traditional "Forsham" house stood next to the finished Cube but as soon as the Cube was ready they were all in it by their own choice and no problem going up the ladder to bed on their first night. They had all laid eggs by the next morning. They completely ignore the old house which they grew up in, and are happy to spend the day on their high perches in the walk in run if we are out. Chickens are obviously pretty smart and discerning birds! Well done and very good customer service as well! I will send a photo when the sun comes out(?). Thanks for a great product.
