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

I’m really happy with my new Eglu and so are my chickens! They settled into it straight away. Building the Eglu took two people 4 hours so much longer than you are made to believe on the website.

I waited to buy this hen house due to the price and saved for it. I'm so happy I did! Once I ordered it I was so delighted. Its so easy to clean, the hens love it and I know I have bought a henhouse I will have for many years. Don't second think it, buy Eglo!!!

There is a bit of a learning curve putting this together, largely because the instruction manual has very few words in it and the individual fixtures (screws, nuts, bolts) aren't labelled, but once you get the hang of it it goes together well. I have 3 relatively plump chickens in this coop and I'd say I could probably fit 4-6 more, if I cared to. They love it and started going in on their own immediately after I got it set up for them. VERY glad I got the coop light addition, both for my girls and because it made the last stages of assembly much easier. Don't short yourself by buying cheaper coops: this is worth the investment.

Every bit as good as I had hoped. Strong, lovely colour and the chickens are very happy. Easy to assemble, easy to clean and looks like red mite problems are all sorted. Bliss!

We had a problem with our Auto door control panel clock which meant that the door was not opening or closing when it should. The control panel then would only turn on for 4 seconds and then nothing! Changed the batteries, factory reset etc with no luck. Rang Omlet on Monday mid morning and by Tuesday 4pm a replacement panel had been delivered and by 4.15 all was well with the door again. Thank you for such prompt and excellent service.

After much research I decided to purchase the Eglu with a 3 metre run, the wheels for moving the coop around and also the automatic door. Very happy with the product! So easy to clean- it only takes me 5 minutes. Being able to move the coop is handy in order to give the hens fresh ground to fossick in. Auto door also great!

I bought this a few weeks back to replace a storm damaged wooded coop. Really easy to assemble and looks great. Some nice features which make it easy to clean. Pay special attention if you are fitting an automatic door. It changes some of the fixtures! Overall, really pleased and hope this lasts a long time as its really expensive!

Arrived promptly and went together without problems using the video instructions and the help of my daughter. Our ex battery hens have after 5 months have shown no real inclination to perch and have preferred ton huncker down in the soft bedding in the old coop. We hoped the igloo might help them to learn to perch and help make sure no chest infections. We seem to have rather slow learners! After three nights in the coop I came to check on them to find one had managed to open the nest box door and five fast asleep in the nesting area with number six huddled up to the door. (Pic-attached ) I assume I had left door not quite shut. The ladder is a challenge for them so have put a stool beside it for them. Am hoping they will adapt as time goes on. None of which is anything to do with the quality of the coop just our rather strange but gorgeous ex batts We have the coop in a shed so they are not cold just prefer to cuddle in the bedding which I have to clean everyday to make sure not sleeping on damp bedding and was one of the reasons for buying Omlet. Fingers crossed they will get used to it.

We bought this after buying a much cheaper wooden coop to get us started. That was fine for a while, until we got the dreaded red mite! We had no success in fully getting rid on them, and although Omlet is a lot more expensive than the wooden coop we brought, from our experience so far, it's definitely worth it. Whilst we still had red mite (not over run by any means, but they was still present in the wooden coop) we assembled the cube the day it got delivered. For the first couple of days, I cleaned out regularly using hose and jet washer (despite not seeing one of them in the cube at all after a few days) but just to make sure they wasn't carried over from the chickens. We never saw another one again (fingers crossed). However as this is a decent sturdy plastic, the jet washer does wonders (something I tried doing in the wooden coop, however the paint and wood peeled away from the power). We have the cube in a very open area, and it has definitely been put to the test with the weather. It hasnt budged with strong storm winds (nothing added to weigh it down), the colour is still as fresh as the day we got it from the summers sun glaring at it (only had it since about July/August though), and the last couple of nights, we've had freezing temperatures and snow. When I open the door in the morning, it is much warmer than our draughty old wooden coop, and the chickens love it. It took them 1 or 2 nights after first getting it where I had to help them get into it because it the ladder. We already have a fairly large run, so only ordered the cube and stand which is perfect for us. We have 6 medium sized hens and there's still room for more in there. Only 1 negative is that the nesting area doesn't have a sliding tray for when you clean it out, however, in my opinion, it isn't even when worrying about, compared to what we had before this. It's costly, but you get what you pay for.

Bought this for our grandson, and he will love collecting the eggs. Reasonably easy to put together.
