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

I bought a Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop may be 9 weeks ago . How was the experience .... Customer Service - Excellent Coop Quality - it looks like lego and what a design !!!! Everyone like this . Cleaning process - Hassle-free and good for the chicken as this is made out of plastic there fore no risks of coop pest issues Am I satisfied? - I could only fit 4 chickens in the iglu coop as it is small. I want to buy more chickens and therefore in the process to order the large iglu coop. I highly recommend it !!

I am so glad I have the Omlet family helping me with my first time chicken raising! I love my Cube and the accessories that go with it. So far, it is so easy to keep clean and my chicas seem very, very happy.

I have loved my omlet automatic door, so after Hurricane Ian destroyed my coup I bought this to house my hens. Despite my coup falling apart my automatic door still worked! The folks at omlet were kind enough to send me the hardware I needed to attach the two for free. Thanks again for your help.

I've owned this coop since 2020 and really love it. I added two extensions, an extra waterer and feeder, the autodoor, and covers (for year round use). I even added the autodoor to my wooden coop that houses chicks. My eight bantam cochin and silkie hens sleep and lay eggs in this coop. I placed towels in the laying the areas for easy cleaning and less mess. I don't close the door to run, because even with the extensions, it would be crowded for 8 bantam hens and 1 rooster, but they will stay in the run for protection during rainy and windy days.While I did buy the wheels to move the coop, I do not use it as a tractor trailer. Far better for the health and happinesses of the chickens to allow them to free range under pop-up tents and trees with nearby reflective pinwheels for overhead raptors. My guard cat lives in peace with my free range bantams while keeping larger invading cats at bay. The hens required some training to climb the ladder, and now they even go broody in the laying the area. Any hens with crests covering their eyes will need to trimmed or placed in a rubber band to see the ladder. The sleeping area allows them to perch above their poop, and can be easily cleaned by scrapping it into the garbage. Also if the run should puddle with water, the coop remains high and dry. Parasites, such as mites, won't be able to infest the crevices. Any coop under a tree with wild finch will eventually endure these critters, so plastic will probably be the only solution to this problem. In regards to accessories, almost everything is high quality. The feeder and waterer are easy to clean and fill. The feeder will prevent water from entering (but not rodents). The autodoor won't crush the hens and is very dependable (really the biggest bang for your buck for autodoors). The peck toys really keep the hens entertained. The base, however, should be coated because it will rush if left in the rain after 1 year. The plastic covers for the back of the coop protect my hens from strong winds while they huddle at the back of the run. The thin top cover will wear out after two years and should be replaced with a thicker cover. The only accessories missing are a misting system and cooling pad to keep the flock cool during the summer. I find that the heat can be far more damaging to the health chickens than the cold. I took away 1-star for difficulty in building the Omlet coop. Videos should be watched before assembling because the instructions can be difficult to follow and it is easy to become lost in the steps. The coop does require at-least people to assemble over a weekend (for a full 2-days). Be prepared to buy extra zip ties in case mistakes are made when assembling and to give more stability to the run. I have no regrets with my purchase now that I am two years into owning the Omlet.

We have had several types of coops for our hens over the years. This is the first one made of plastic. It is quite elaborate, and very warm and dry for the cold and rainy months here in Ohio. I am excited by the prospect that this will last several years versus the wooden ones that make it only two to three years before needing maintenance or a replacement to keep the foxes out.

We found an old Eglu Go on Facebook marketplace accidentally and got hooked. Here we are, six months later, with the larger Cube model with 12 foot run, automatic door, wheels, and handles. We are so satisfied with the ease of use of this product! Moves so much easier than we imagined around our yard. Our kids are so excited too! My husband went from being doubtful about getting any chickens, to wanting to expand our flock of 4 to include 7 this spring.

This is the third Eglu Cube I have purchased. I have 2 roosters with crossbeak and they have one each since they continue to fight each other. Would highly recommend.

We bought our Eglu Cube in June of this year. We got it within 3 weeks which was a little quicker than we were expecting it. It was a big task to put together with 2 people; we did it in the evenings, it probably took 5-6 hours total to get the coop and 9 ft run put together. Once we got it up we love it. Our chicks were about 8 weeks old when they moved in and they got used to it quickly. It was a really hot summer and they did great. We did put a few big frozen water bottles in there to keep them cool overnight. We put hardware cloth around the run to keep out the raccoons, and put toddler doorknob covers on the rear and egg door knobs also. We had a raccoon break into our last coop so we're extra cautious. We ended up attaching our 9 foot Omlet run to an 8x8 producer's pride universal poultry pen only because the Omlet walk-in run was not in stock, but it worked out great. Our winters get cold in Upstate NY but we're planning to buy the blanket or jacket from Omlet and the windbreak also. In the dropping tray we've been using Sweet PDZ and First Saturday Lime, and I've been adding pine shavings since it's been getting cooler at night. It's so easy to keep clean compared to a wooden coop. We also hope to add the auto door at some point. I'm attaching a photo of our chicks when they first moved into the Omlet before we got the walk-in run.

I brought the coop 2 week ago and straight out of the box you could tell this was a quality product. The build was easy and went together a dream. Now it looks ace in situate and is homing our 3 chooks. Love it!

I am a first time chicken keeper and I wanted something that would last, would allow me to move my chickens around, and was easy to clean. After hours and hours of research (my YouTube is filled with chicken coop reviews!) I settled on the Eglu Omlet. I am so glad that I did. This thing has proven to be everything the reviews said it would be… extremely difficult to put together for sure, but worth the initial hassle. I have 6 chickens (sapphire gems and buff orpingtons) and I initially purchased the 6 ft run extension. I used that for about 4 months before purchasing another 3ft run extension. I decided to purchase the run extension mostly as winter is coming (we live in the Midwest) and I want to provide them more room when the coop is being moved less. With a total of 12ft (and no run handles) my 2 year old daughter pushes the coop and I pull on the run and we have no problem moving it around the yard. It is difficult if I don’t have a pusher as even my little 2 year old makes a big difference in the mobility. We only allow supervised free ranging due to a pair of nesting bald eagles who would love a chicken dinner so the coop is moved almost daily to allow them access to fresh grass and dirt. I have 2 perches in there that they love and they were worth the money. I purchased the automatic door initially and am so glad I did. That is 100% worth the cost (and I would not want to add it on later given the hassle of building the thing). I also purchased the coop light, though honestly I think it just confuses them and so I have not had it on recently. Could have done without the light as my chickens are in bed 20 minutes before dusk. This coop is super easy to clean! My 2 snd 5 year olds loves to scrub at it with the soap and dish brush. It doesn’t take long and all components look like new. Very easy to empty the bedding every couple of days. If the makers are taking recommendations I would love to see a small storage compartment to hold treats. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality, predator proofing, cleaning abilities, accommodations, and mobility of this coop. I love it!
