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

We had a timber hen house with the automatic door fitted but the timber was not up to the wear & tear of cleaning & it was drafty so decided we needed to upgrade there is no comparison for ease of cleaning, so warm & cosy! Delighted with our purchase!

I love this coop. I will never have to purchase another one. That's the wonderful thing. If you add up what you would spend on a cheap, wooden coop, over the years, it's a waste of money. This one is so convenient. I love it so much, I just bought another one. I guess I've become the crazy cat and chicken lady!

When five boxes arrived I was slightly daunted but needn’t have worried. All the instructions are very clear and if you work through them in order assembly is easy and straightforward, for most of it I was working alone. Our chickens won’t be arriving until next year but I needed the Eglu in place to make sure my chosen site was suitable and the coop would not be affected by any strong winds. It looks very smart and has received very positive comments from friends and neighbours.

I've wanted to keep chickens for ages and did a lot of research about pros and cons of different types of coop. I chose the Cube for its practical features - easy to clean, secure, low maintenance. It's good quality; well-packaged, so no damaged or missing parts, everything required was there and clearly labelled. The instructions are good (although I'd have liked a few more "words" to explain some key points). I assembled the coop and run single-handed, taking it steadily over a couple of day. Anyone who has put together a flat-pack wardrobe or played with Meccano can do this! I have five chooks and they seem very satisfied with their accommodation.

I love the Omlet. I was overwhelmed initially when I received 8 boxes in the first delivery. I was concerned there might be missing pieces. Wow, was I wrong. Each box was not only carefully packed but the instruction book outlined what was expected in each box that was identified by its letter. The instructions even included a time for assembly. Their timeline didn’t quite work for us though. I’m in my late 60s so climbing into the sections took me a little longer than the young girl in the online instructions. ???? However, unlike many build yourself projects, each part went together as instructed. The only time we got into trouble was when my husband suggested jumping ahead doing what logically looked faster. That caused a little disassemble and redo. Just follow the instructions as laid out and you won’t have to back-track. Our hens are still just “teenagers” but they quickly learned the routine. I have the automatic door which is well worth the expense. I’m having a little trouble with getting the light to turn on before the door closes. It’s probably the user programming it. ????. That’s me! Omlet Support has been very helpful so I’m sure once I contact them they can straighten me out. Regardless, when it starts getting dark my girls go in the coup. They will do better with the light but they took to the coup like a duck to water. I highly recommend the Omlet.

I was able to put it together all by myself . Looking forward to moved my chicks to their new home in couple of months.

Decided to invest in two eglus after a severe res mite infestation in my old coops. I’m delighted. The hens took a few days to get used to the ramps and accommodation, so we had a few nights of picking them up and putting them to bed, but they sorted it out within a week.

I bought and put the coop together by myself. I have no building skills at all and I was able to put together this coop. The coop is strong and stable. It keeps my chicks perfectly safe. I am very happy with this coop.

This coop would be great in the city with 4 to 5 medium chickens. Not really useful in a rural setting. To small and the wire yard is too flimsy for predators. The coop is really easy to clean. Keep in mind, if you return this item, you have to pay the shipping. I ended up keeping mine because shipping was around 500.00 to send it back.

After a huge infestation of mites in our 15 year old wooden chicken coup we urgently needed new accommodation for our 6 hens. (The old coup had to be burnt and the whole chicken pen area and chopped bark litter cleaned out) We did not want a wooden coup again as they have so many places where mites etc can hide. We settled for the Eglu which although more expensive than a wooden structure seemed to be the answer to our problem. We have been using it for about 4 weeks now and cleaning out is so easy
