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

I appreciate a well thought out product. I was going for an easy to clean, safe, insulated and easy to move coop. Safety and sanitation were high on my list. Thanks for thinking outside the box Omlet.

We have tried several wooden hen house designs driven by price and general discomfort at using plastic products. Challenges with cleaning and combatting red mites pushed us to opt for the Eglu Cube. I was extremely impressed with everything from the: excellent sales advice; packaging; build quality; instruction clarity; through to overall robustness. So far so very good and I can see why it costs so much - you get what you pay for (and they're a similar price to high quality wooden hen houses)!

Eggxcellent product! My girls are very happy. 3 large Brahmas and a Belleblue fit with loads of space (in fact there's room for a couple more!). Had to adapt the ladder as Mabel (a Brahma) could not manage the ladder - thinks she's a special one! Very easy to keep clean and love being able to shut the nesting area off as one of my girls is broody and it allows me to keep her out.

I am pleased with the unit and find it easy to manage on a daily basis. The height is just right as I find bending a bit difficult. I think the 'undercarriage' bolted joints could more rigid with the wheels a bit tighter on the axles. We don't all have bowling green lawns. I might even buy another next year.

Bought our first omlet eglu, we decided to go with the cube so the girls had as much space as possible! After having some terrible experiences with mites we decided enough is enough and time to buy a “mite free eglu” as advertised. We have been slightly put off by the price previously but now I wish I had one from the start! I couldn’t rate the omlet eglu cube any higher! What used to take 2 hours to clean and scrub a chicken coop now takes 10 minutes!!! We have not had any lice infestations since having the cube I absolutely love it and so do our chickens, just wish we had bought one sooner!! OMLET EGLU ALL THE WAY!! NO OTHER CHICKEN COOP WILL BE AS GOOD! We love it!!

Can’t fault the cube at all. Relatively easy to make (tho my son did it!) and it is so easy to clean (yesterday it took all of 10 minutes). I removed the cube’s run and have put it into a extended walk-in run which is much better, giving the ladies more room. Hopefully they are loving the whole thing, they certainly seem to be. The new ex-batts are beginning to use the ladder, GrabI’m still helping them in at night after 10 days, tho yesterday one beat me to it! Give them another week and I’m sure they’ll all be fine. (Going down never a problem after they’d worked out that was the thing to do.)

I’m quite happy with my Eglu Cube Mk2. I purchased with run and wheels. Instructions to put together are not bad, a little unclear in some diagrams, but easy enough to work out. I put it together myself, took quite a while, but it is nice and secure and weather tight. The only thing that I believe could be improved is the perches, being the same level as the nest does not encourage birds to sit in perch area. They tend to also use nesting box. It’s not a big drama, but something that could be looked into for the future. Perches should be higher than nests, as a home for about 4 large chooks, or 8 Bantams I think it is ideal. Expensive, but quality.

Absolutely chuffed to bits with out new Eglu. Took our chickens a while to get used to it but fully settled in now. Not over keen on the ladder as it’s is a little sharp and we have had a cut foot ( can’t say for absolute that it was the ladder). Found it a little complicated to put together but managed in the end. Would recommend to everyone.

Brilliant!

We have been looking at the Eglu for some time and bulked at the price. However .... after one serious disaster with mite infestation in what was advertised a mite-free housing, we decided to finally go for the Eglu. Only wished we had done it right from the start. It is fantastic (once assembled, which is OK but quite involved and lengthy! ... but don't be put off by this comment). Looks great and oh so easy to maintain, clean etc. Chickens absolutely love it. Went for the slightly larger coop to give us flexibility, which was a good call. Chickens absolutely love it too! Although our chickens run free in a very large garden, the 2m run has given us flexibility for long weekends away. We love wood and very natural people, but the coop looks great too and blend into the garden in a very natural and pleasing way. Very impressed and pleased and if you really do want to keep chickens, don't consider anything else. Just not worth the hygienic hassle.
