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

We have had wooden traditional hen coups for many years.so were slightly anxious to change but recent infestations of mite and time consuming routine cleaning and disposal of bedding etc along with the creosoting etc Brilliant wish we'd bought one when they first came out. So much so that we are thinking to buy a second one as the old wooden house is still in use in the other chicken run.The hens are happy and we are happy! A dream to clean and it looks good in a very rural setting.we love the concept of moving it around too. We work long hours and have lost many hens in the pat to Mr Fox so to be able to move them round giving them fresh ground and keeping them safe is a bonus.the run for the poor chicks left in the original wooden run gets very worn out when they are shut in during the working week. Why 4 stars? 1. Moving it! Not easy on slopes and how do we move it? Pull on the run but will that stress the fixings etc push and it nose dives. Would love some handles at both ends! To give it lift and grip!! 2.we think the area under the house should be made of lightweight plastic walls with the fox proof wire skirt attached rather than the wire netting used on the rest of the run.this would give the girls better protection from the elements. The rain shade cover is good but I never put it in the right place at the right time but we do live in an exposed area. So just ideas really because we love it and will be getting another one soon! Thankyou Omlet

I am in the US and purchased a cube just recently. I absolutely love it! Financially it was a huge purchase for me and I also needed to rent a truck to go pick it up at a shipping terminal. Although I'd never want to do that again once the cube was home and I assembed it (easily) I've enjoyed it very much. It's SUPER easy to clean and the girls love that I move the cube and the extended run around the back yard every other day. I also have a spot that they've denuded where I park them and add shavings, in order to let the grass recover. Then hens are content and I've just been very happy with my purchase. Hopefully some day more people in the States can experience a cube - perhaps by having a distributor and shipping right to a customer's doorstep. That would make a HUGE difference.

This Eglu is brilliant easy to keep clean it looks great in my garden in the countryside, my hens love it now they are use to their new surroundings. The only down side is the area in which they lay eggs this has an open vent in the bottom, good, but this does allow any bedding to fall out or be pecked out from underneath by the hens a fine mesh fitted over this vent would prevent this from happening and would keep more of the bedding inside and not all over the ground. I have purchased a piece of fine mesh which fits perfectly over the vent in question still allowing air to circulate but it keep's the bedding in and prevents the hens from pecking it out from underneath. But it's still a brilliant hen house & run every one comments on it and I'm more than happy with it, I would recommend it to anyone looking to keep hens.

The positives - the house looks smart and is easy to clean out. The negatives - the delivery was mixed up and came in 2 lots, 3 days apart. The house took about 5 hours to assemble, longer than had been suggested. The ladder seems too short. We have made a little ramp which seems to have pleased the chickens.

Hallo! Super einfach aufzubauen!! Gute Verarbeitung des Materials! Einfach zu handhaben!! Keine fehlenden Teile!! Würde ihn wieder bestellen!! Bin nur durch Zufall auf die Seite gekommen !! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christine Benecke

Absolutely love my Eglu Cube, it has made looking after my chickens a much more enjoyable process as so easy to keep clean

When you are a first time keeper of chickens it is quite daunting however Omlet have made it so simple even I can do it. I can only speak highly of the quality of product and service we received. We had two eggs at delivery point and two weeks later with three Miss Pepper-pots and two Ginger Nut Rangers we are getting four or five each day. It is so satisfying and the dog is getting used to them albeit slowly. He is a Springer Spaniel though Thank you Omlet

i have had the cube for a few weeks now and its really good! a doddle to clean and wash takes me a few minutes for a quick clean. however i live outside the delivery zone so didn't qualify for home set up, i did it myself and being 15 i enjoyed setting it up but found it hard as i couldn't get it perfect. there are small gaps is places like for example between the back panel and roof but my chickens don't seem to mind!!! also one of the 6 boxes were sent to the wrong depot so i had to wait another day for the roof and sides to arrive, but anyway i love it its great and much better than a wooden coop i would recommend it to anyone

Love, love, LOVE our Eglu Cube. Looks great in the garden, plenty of space for the chickens and easy to move and clean. We also ordered the moveable fencing and this was quick and easy to put up. We ordered 3 hens from Omlet and these arrived happy and healthy and have already provided hours of entertainment! First egg laid after 3 days. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. We have a wooden chicken coop that we house our guinea pigs in and this cost us £150 18 months ago. The roof has already rotted, loads of nooks and crannys to clean and really difficult to get it to dry in the winter and the ramp broke after a few months. Omlet wins hands down.

Having lost two chooks in wooden housing I wanted a house that I could clean out and dry in double quick time. This is a peach! We put ours together and it's not the easiest of flat packing scenarios, however 2-3 hours is all it took. I agree the run is not easy to get into and out of, but it is so easy to move around to fresh ground and we have a lumpy bumpy orchard garden. Plus to keep Foxy Features out I'd recommend buying extra clips and to keep looking for any weaknesses. I do as we live in open countryside and the security aspect of the cube was another deciding factor. In fact Omlet stuff is so good I'm saving for the WIR. If you can collect, I would. We had no bashes owing to us acting as courier. Staff at Omlet were brilliant at packing the car! Just ordered the girls - now have five chooks - an extreme weather jacket. Is it wrong that I am the excited one? If you're hesitating and have the money, don't - just buy! You will not be disappointed. Oh and one more thing, we have cable tied a rubber mat with holes in to our ladder, as for me that is Omlet's Achilles Heel on this design. But their only one.
