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

We are really happy with our new Eglu Cube. The chickens have happily moved into it. I love how it can be reasonably easily moved around. I wish I had bought the run extension but feel the cost of this is too high for what it is.

I am so pleased I bought the cube - I have the extra 1m extension and it is a great size for my 7 girls. They have settled into it incredibly well. Initially I was worried after reading some of the reviews about the ladder but all my girls are happily going up and down the ladder without problems including my ex-battery hens (I put a log under it to help them). They like to sit on the ladder in the day time and watch what is going on. It is very easy to keep clean and I can clean it without having to bend down which is great. I can even get into the run if needed to pick up an egg laid on the ground or to pick up one of the chickens.

The Eglu cube is perfect for my chickens. Looks good ,easy to clean and nowhere for pesky mites to thrive. We now have two cubes for our chickens and wouldn't house them in anything else.

Brilliant product and brilliant service. Cannot speak too highly of this hen house.

Very pleased with the cube after a most shaky start. The delivery was five parcels, each arriving on different days. The the wheel assembly unit was damaged in transit through to bare metal and was replaced without fuss - but the second was no better and we painted over them for protection. Packaging needs to be more protective if using a third party.. The cube is very easy to clean and use.

Fun design kippenhok met veel bekijks. Staat in 2 uurtjes in elkaar. De nieuwe kippen voelen er zich onmiddellijk in thuis. Praktisch ei-deurtje, mestlade maakt het onderhoud heel netjes. Alle andere elementen zijn met de hogedrukreiniger te kuisen. Kwalitatief hok. Goede prijs-kwaliteit.

I have had my eglu and 3 run lengths for 6 years only just lost my last omelet sold pepperpot. My only comment is to envy those who can let their girls out without being there. Mine love their run but I cannot leave them outside it for a minute before the red vermin shows up. Also why say if you do not have grass ? In your ads. If you have grass it will soon all be gone! Yes mine can roam the garden but the idea of leaving them out on their own is impossible. We do not need any more openings every opening is a potential danger. Buy a long net or get a toddler you only get one emergency a year in a happy hen house. Lesly

I actually was bored with researching and trying to decide if we should go with plastic or wood, how many chickens and so on. I visited so many people who kept chickens and who either loved the Cube, or swore by wooden coops. Eventually we decided to get the Cube. It arrived and took my husband and I about 3 hours to erect.(more him then me!). I fell in love with it then....it was exactly as described in all the reviews. Another week to prepare the hardstanding and stock up with food etc. Then the big day. The four beautiful chickens arrived. The first day or two we wondered how they would deal with the ladder....they had to be helped up and flew down in a panic. We put a log by the bottom of the ladder and it all sudenly clicked. They loved their new home. I am so glad we went with the cube which has given them shade and extra run space. The cleaning is a dream, so easy. I am left wondering why we did not get chickens before, it's all so easy! Three weeks in and they are all laying and everything seems to be working beautifully. Thank you Omlet

At first I wasn't sure if I should get the Eglu Cube or the Eglu Go. I was only thinking of getting three hens but decided on the Cube in the end and I am so glad that I did. A lot more expensive but worth every penny. I started off with 3 hens in the basic cube but soon realised that I would like some more so ordered the extension run and got two more. The girls are in the run when I'm out or at work and free range when I'm home. Although it states that you could house ten hens in the Cube you would have to increase the run by about 3 meters to give them enough space. We found it easy to put together and so easy to keep clean. I line the trays with news paper and cover with shavings and change once a week. Same with nesting box but change less often. The hens have managed the ladder no problems. Had to show them how to get to roost first night and then they managed all on their own. I would recommend to anyone thinking of getting hens. Another plus of the Eglu is that they are fox proof. We back onto open fields and I wanted a house that was secure. I have got the Omlet pegs which secures the run to the grass. Overall very pleased and a good company to deal with.

I was impressed at how easy the cube was to build. The design has clearly had a lot of thought put into it and it has a very solid feel to it. Chickens moved straight in and seem happy, although the little Pekin took a couple of goes to get the jump to the ladder right. Will post additional comments following the first 'big clean'.
