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

The best design ever! Being a complete novice when it comes to chicken keeping, as well as enjoying a lovely garden, we wanted something that was easy, hassle free, would look good in our garden, and be great for our bird’s welfare. We couldn’t be more impressed. It was straightforward to assembly (we used the video on YouTube, the main assembly book and the individual guides to get a feel for how to assemble). It looks great in our garden and is really easy to climb into (we had to show the girls how to go to bed each evening the first few nights, now they just do it themselves and I only climb in to move the dust box and pick up poo each day). The slide out droppings tray is a great design, as is the partition door to the egg compartment. Really like the extra vertical space compared to the other styles of run (the hens really like to flap and fly and use the perch too, as well as the ladders). I would suggest going for the biggest run and coop you possibly can, and the wheels if you have enough grass to move your run around every other day. Really impressed, love this product.

This is our 2nd Eglu Cube and I cannot recommend it enough for easy, carefree chicken ownership. This is one example where you definitely get what you pay for as the whole product is well designed, well engineered and works faultlessly. Collecting eggs is effortless through the side hatch and cleaning is about as simple as it can get, helped by the easily removable back. The ease of cleaning and lack of little crevices and gaps is a huge advantage and seems to be really effective at preventing red spider mite, not something that we’ve found with wooden coops. As for Omlet, I doubt you’ll find a company that genuinely seems to love their products and care for the ultimate users, the hens, as much. Their service has always been exemplary but to be fair, you do pay for it although as said above you do get what you pay for so it’s worth it in the long run.

I am so pleased with my cube! After years (I mean about 5) debating if we should invest in this product, my husband purchased it for me as a gift after birthing my son August 2018 Amazing! A little hard work to build especially the clips but once it’s done it’s fine. We have taken it apart once since building for a deep clean. Easy to clean daily and easy to access (Even while juggling children) my 3 Orpington hens and 2 Serama Bantams and one Serama cockerel all fit. There can be some peking over the one nest box. Easy for my 4 year old daughter to open the egg hatch (she’s loves being in charge of the egg hunt) We added the walk in run and the automatic door

I initially looked at the cube and thought it was too expensive. It also looked untraditional and I was skeptical. So I bought a wooden coop for $400 from eBay. The wood was so light - a cross between one and balsa wood. It would have lasted a couple of years in our climate. I also suspected a fox would easily break into it. It made me feel bad just looking at it. So I gave it away without even putting a chook in it and bought a cube. I love the cube. It's 1000% better. It's tough and totally weatherproof. It makes me feel good just looking at it. I love showing it to people. I wish I had invented it. It fits my 6 Isa Browns. I could squeeze two more in, but that would be it's limit. The poo tray and roosting platform get dirty quickly (unlike the photos in the adds), but they are easy to wash down once or twice a week. In fact, I leave the poo tray out over summer so poo falls onto the ground. You won't regret buying one.

We've had two previous Omlet Eglus (Classic and Go Up) - they were definitely easier to put together than this but they are smaller so that makes sense. Instructions are easy to follow, however some of the screws, knuts and bolts were not manufactured properly meaning it took a lot longer to set up than expected. Despite this, I did manage to set up the whole thing mostly on my own and once it's all put together it is a wonderful coop. I love the new ladder grips - definitely an improvement from previous ones. The nesting box is a lovely size and the girls seem to love it. I must point out though that from my experience the perches should be in the same plastic material and the same colour as the droppings tray - we've had our coop just over a month now I think and I can already see the grey perches discolouring despite the fact that I clean them every day (yes I'm that fussy about my chickens) with poultry cleaner, a sponge and water whereas the droppings tray is still a lovely green colour. That's the only downside when it's set up though.

The Cube was the first Eglu I bought and is by far the best

This is a great hen house. I have previously had wooden houses but always end up with red mite issues. The cube allows me to regularly (and easily) dismantle it sufficiently enough to power wash it down and keep it clean. It slots together securely and is very easy to clean out - whether power washing or not! I have recently added an autodoor as I had a visit by Mr Fox and have my cube in and open enclosure rather than having a run attached. I would recommend having a run or autodoor for additional security to save the heartbreak of loosing your chucks. And if you think the price is high then think again... this will last an awful lot longer than a wooden coop and it maintains a good residual value so will still fetch a good price if you then wanted to sell it.

I couldn't be more pleased with this coop, it's so easy to use and makes chicken keeping a delight. I put it together myself and it's straightforward to do. I would highly recommend - I have two of these now and would definitely buy another. I have added the auto-door to both of mine which is another fantastic invention!

Love our Eglu Cube. We had an Eglu Classic coop for about 11 years and recently decided to upgrade. The cube took 2 of us about 4 hours to put together, it wasn't difficult but it was time consuming. It takes up roughly the same footprint as our older & smaller one did but as the girls can go underneath the coop they have plenty of room. It's so easy to clean, durable and looks stunning!

Cube is fantastic just upgraded from eglu go also bought the automatic door gives them so much time out as I’m not always up at 6.30 in the morning
