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

My wife and I got JUST into backyard chickens. We initially had a lot of reservations and concerns given that we had no idea what we were doing. Due to our circumstances, I knew I wanted a coop that simplified the process and care for our gals. I found the Omlet Eglu Cube on my research and it was exactly what I was looking for. It does everything I need it too and more. Easy to maintain and clean, well built and sturdy, and compact making it perfect for a backyard.

We love our coop! The ease of use and ergonomic design is amazing. Clean up is a breeze! Just remove the tray and wash. I love knowing my chickens are in a safe and sanitary home. I looked at coop designs and building my own coop for months before realizing the eglu products had everything figured out for us! We live in a small city and have our chickens just a few yards from our house and our neighbors. There’s no smell, no crazy fly problems, and I can conveniently toss the chicken waste as it’s just a petite tray of wood chips and droppings. If your looking for a way to keep happy birds in a suburban environment, go with the eglu!!

We have the Eglu Cube Large Chicken Coop With 9Ft Run And Wheels. Before ordering, we were a little concerned that the actual chicken coop might be too small, but we are happy to report it is actual quite spacious. It is bigger than it looks from the videos and pictures. There is plenty of room for our five chickens, and they take up less than half of the sleeping area when they are in there. The egg laying space is large, the doors provide easy access. It is very easy to clean, the tray comes right out, and while the tray is out being cleaned and drying, you can still have the chickens in there - it does not create a gap they could escape through, or that other animals could get in through. And if they do poop while the tray is out it just goes right through to the ground. We clean it with a power spray every couple of weeks. We got the 9th/3m run, which is pretty big. It gives them lots of room to peck for food and worms, and if we do need to go away for a day and they cannot get out, we do not feel guilty leaving them in there. They have enough space to run back and forward. It takes them about a week to peck away all the grass and bugs under it, but we move it every few days anyway. The wheel kit is great (if you like moving it around, which we do). We do find it is easy to move it in one direction by yourself, with the coop at the "front". To move it the other way, you need two people. But once we figured that out, we just moved it so the coop is at the "front" and we go around the yard in circles, so you can do it very easily with one person that way. We got the perch, and the chickens are still working out how to use that. It took me about six hours to put it together (one person) but it was not difficult. The instructions are very clear. There are a couple of spots where you need to get inside it to do up some of the screws. Overall, it is very good, it feels solid and well built. We got the sun shade, and we plan to get the winter cover for it too, since it snows a little where we live. We did look at many other options, and we read a lot of reviews and talked to a lot of people before deciding on this one, and we are very happy with it, and our chickens love it.

We've had our Eglu Cube with 6' run and wheels package for just over a year now. We have added on to it with a 6x6 walk-in run, a couple of self-install run doors to make maintenance easier, and a couple of Omlet peck toys. I really appreciate the metal skirt around the bottom, which makes me feel more assured that raccoons, neighborhood cats, and other pests can't get inside the run and coop - to date we've had no issues with that at all. Maintenance on it is easy - we replace the roost bedding a couple times a week (we use coastal hay which is cheap and slides right off into our compost pile), hose off the roost tray with the hose once or twice a month, and replace the bedding in the nesting box every few weeks. The Cube took a couple of hours to assemble with the whole family (kids and all) helping out. The plastic clips were a little difficult to get the hang of at first, but once we had some practice they went together easy, and since then they've all stayed put aside from a few that broke (but Omlet sent plenty of spares). The included water and food dishes are very hardy and also easy to clean out. I'm really surprised by how well everything has held up in the punishing Florida sun, from the Cube itself to the included sun shade, and the peck toys and heavy-duty cover (purchased separately from Omlet). Usually things become quickly weathered and brittle, but these are still going strong. We really love our Cube, and our backyard flock does too.

Safe and secure, easy to clean, stylish, and easy to move. Who could ask for anything more?

We love our Omlet. We rescued 4 ex-battery hens and they love it too. It’s easy to clean, secure looks great in the garden. It was simple to put together and the modular nature of it means you can add to it as you want. We already have!

This chicken coop has held up beautifully for the last 2 years! Our kids are still willing to do the necessary chores to care for their flock of 6 hens because the Eglu makes it easy (and even fun) for us to feed, water, clean, harvest (eggs), move, release, and protect our hens. We have an abundance of predators, but our hens have been safe. The hens don't mind the cold snow or the humid heat, thanks to this coop. We are very glad that we spent the extra money to have such a wisely engineered coop.

After a terrible year of redmite and failing to keep my wooden coops dry I spoilt myself with the purchase of Eglu cube. It was recommended all over the poultry pages so I got myself one. First impressions are that it was bigger than I expected! I also had a little bit of bother putting it up when my partner failed to hold on to the side and it fell sideways ripping the bolt hole right out of the product! OUR fault entirely! We had found the instructions a bit baffling as they were designed for construction with the cage pen attached.....something I had not needed. OTHER than that I love it, it is so easy to clean on a daily basis and a thorough big clean will be a doddle....no more wooden coops for me!

brilliant loads of room and easy to move with the wheels

Love the design of the Elglu Cube, quite easy to assemble, and I like the way in which you can clean it out
