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

I've noticed there are no reviews for the new Cube, so here goes! For many years, we've happily used the Eglu Classic and Eglu Go, but decided it was time for an upgrade. Our new addition is far more spacious than the other 2, and being raised, will undoubtedly be easier on the back to clean and retrieve eggs. The Cube takes significantly longer to put together - but that only adds to the sense of accomplishment at the end! Instructions are generally quite good, and thankfully, a few extra screws, clips, etc are included. The build quality far exceeds that of the Eglu Go, but falls just short of the seemingly indestructible Eglu Classic. We've always had issues with hens sleeping in the laying area, so the sliding door preventing access at night is very welcome. And I can't describe how excited I am about the automatic door opener due out in spring! The height of the run is perfect for young children to walk around in - and even a determined adult if you mind your head (and feet at the threshold). I was disappointed to find no accessories specifically for the new Cube available at launch - namely, the various run covers and winter jacket. I've gone with run covers designed for the original Cube, which obviously work, but extend further down the sides than they would on the original. Overall though, we're very happy with the product. Just waiting for our new hens to move in, but I'm sure they'll agree.

Overall we are very happy with the Cube, which was an upgrade from our Go UP necessitated by a slight population explosion among our hens. The accommodation is cosy, secure and relatively easy to maintain. Positioning on flat ground appears to be important in order for the roof to fit properly and I my hens would appreciate something to cover the non-stick surface of the ladder runs but aside from that the chooks are very happy. Well recommended!

First Class. The chicken are blooming and very happy in their new home. I did, however fit two tubes to the side with cable ties, extending to the front to make it easier to move. The ladder gave the chickens difficulty to start with so I but a bit of steel mesh on top of the ladder, again with cable ties and they have had no difficulty since.

After a bit of a hiccup with our order, everything arrived with no problems. It took a couple of hours to put together for one person. My new chickens love their coop except for the ladder which I have had to modify with a wooden ramp. There is loads of room inside for 4 growing Brahmas. The run however is far too small for them and needs an extension (we are waiting for a walk in run). We have used the portable fencing during the day to give them a bigger area. Moving the coop is heavier than I expected and needs 2 people on our uneven ground. I feel confident that the coop keeps my birds safe and comfortable.There has been a problem with leakage in the back corners- I received a new back promptly when I phoned about this.The 2m run is hard to access through the door and would present a problem for someone not very agile. The coop itself is easy to clean and access the inside. I covered in the nest box entrance with card for a week to stop anyone making it their skeeping spot.My girls were a few weeks off laying and this has worked well. Overall I am very happy with my purchase, I think it is good value and will stand up to our Scottish winter weather,

A good product on the whole. The run is pretty flimsy. I think the ladder could be a bit lower - quite a high jump for my elderly cockerel.

A great chicken coop so easy to clean and maintain - a 5 star residence for my girls!!

Having lost 10 hens to the local fox we decided to try the Eglu Cube with 2m run for better security. We have not been disappointed. The design is absolutely fantastic Omlet have thought of everything. Our new hens are safe and happy and I am delighted with the easy cleaning and locking up arrangements. The cube itself was very straightforward to assemble and looks great. The run was a little more fiddly but we got there in the end. A perfect home that will last forever!

Brilliant hen house. However, the roosting bars are too low (hens always roost on highest point) so they tended to roose in nesting box - very messy. Husband had to make wooden perches to go on top of Eglu's. Also, the access ladder is slippery for them even in the dry. Suggestions for improvements.

I had previously bought a wood chicken coop with run thinking it was good value for the money, but soon discovered that it wasn't as I had to repair it and put in extra screws to stop it from falling apart and it was generally hell on earth to move around. When my finances improved I went for the Eglu Cube and found the whole set up first class from putting it together although that does take time, to the ease of cleaning and not having to worry if it will fall apart if you use a pressure hose on it, plus being able to move the whole coop without anyone else's help. I absolutely love it and when I get the chance I will be adding the Omlet Cube extension to the run.

Upgraded to this from a conventional wooden chicken house and this is so much better! Really easy to clean out keeps my hens safe and secure. Worth every penny!
