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

I bought one of these several years ago now because I have back problems and wanted a chicken house that would last and I could look after without bending and it is still working well. One wheel rusted through eventually, but Omlet replaced both immediately and were very helpful. My only disappointment was that there is no raised perch. Birds perching in front of each other can get pecked so mine tend to sit in the nest box which means I have to clean it out more often. Easy to clean with pressure washer or steam cleaner and importantly I can manage to keep the red mite population down by hand killing them where they hide as nice and visible.

On the whole I love my cube although I had a ramp made rather than that stupid ladder. The slot under the nest box is a nuisance as the bedding drops through which is just throwing money away. Impossible to engage the wheels with just one person. However I love the cube it is easy to clean much warmer than the old wooden coop I had and looks good in the garden.

My new hens just love it but wouldn't come outside for three days until my husband made a wooden ramp for them! An enormous gale last night but still they were warm and cosy.

Really pleased with my Eglu chicken house. Much easier to keep clean than wooden ones, chickens very happy. Bit tricky for me to move on my own as our field is quite rutted, but with a bit of help it's no problem. Think I will invest in the bigger run too eventually. Joanna

Very happy with our new house, much easier to move around than our old wooden house and less damage to the lawn.

Excellent piece of kit, well worth the money

Not much you can say other than it does the job perfectly And is easy to keep clean. Would recommend it.

A wonderful hen house and run. Our free range chickens were being picked off by a fox so we had the house delivered within a week and saved the rest who now live a very happy life. They actually seem more content and relaxed in the extended run than they were when they were free range in half an acre! It is perfect, every detail makes chicken keeping a clean and very easy business. Thankyou.

Am about to have 2nd hip replacement and find it difficult to bend down to clean out our existing hen shed. This is therefore ideal as once up and running it is easy to access for cleaning and collecting eggs. Have also had problem this year with red mite, now pretty well under control but so much easier to deal with the girls now that they are in this new house than the old wooden shed that had so many nooks and crannies. The ladder is too high up from the ground so we have rested their old one against it to make it easier for access. Another downside is that we have used an automatic timer for closing the pop hole for years and with this system that is impossible and therefore a little constrictive if we were to go away overnight. Is there anyway that this could be developed in the future? As yet we have not set up the cage but already have discovered that unless the cube is put on really level ground (difficult in our wood) then there are quite large gaps along the joins between the roof & the sides which I suspect could compromise the weather/water proofing of the house.

Very easy to keep clean. Bantams love it. They realised from day 1 that they had to climb the ladder to go to bed. We had to add an extension to the ladder for the little lavender pekins as they couldn't make it up on their own. Bit worried about the size of the water container in case one of them gets in & can't get out, as they seem to climb into the food container quite happily, so am waiting till they're a bit bigger before using it. In the meantime have placed it outside the run & the peacocks and guinea fowl use it instead whilst visiting the little bantams. Would recommend the cube to any prospective purchasers.
