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

This is the second cube I have bought ,and I must say I am not as impressed with this new one. The design has been changed with too much ventilation added and even though we assembled on a totally flat surface there seems to be quite large gaps around the back panel which leaks. This could be a problem when the weather turns colder with frost and high winds as the cube are housing Poland chickens and can become hypothermic. The ladder is also a problem as it is not long enough and we have had to make a wooden ladder for them to go to bed.Overall though the door has been made bigger and is much easier to get in to restock food and water and it's an absolute gem to clean out.

Received my cube yesterday and cant stop looking at it :o) Me and my 17 year old daughter casually put it together yesterday over the morning and found it very simple to put together.The roof was a little fiddly trying to line up the little u brackets and the metal brackets to make sure it slides on/off smoothly but is worth taking time to make sure all is running smoothly.Was surprised to find a orange grub in the box but received an e-mail that an purple one would arrive this morning and it did brilliant customer service A+++++ Chickens took to it and had no problems going to bed for the first time,this morning I had a egg from all my girls,this hasnt happened for a week nearly so I think the girls love their new home.Would reccomend to everyone who doubting the price it seems alot but I think its worth it .

Every day I clean it out I thank my son for persuading me not to go for a wooden coop! And the chickens seemed happy aswell. We have had to add a log to the bottom of the ladder to help one little silkie up initially. But she has got the hang of it now.

Very happy with our Eglu. Its easy to move which was the main reason we went for it and very easy to clean which is a real plus. I was surprised it did not come with some pegs for securing the run from foxes, which is fairly important. Also the door latches could be better designed as once you have opened the run door you are left holder the two pins. We have 4 chickens in our extended run, I would not suggest having anymore than that and certainly not the 10 you suggest in the Eglu specifications.

After ordering, the flat packs arrived promptly and we set to putting the cube and extension run together. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and after a couple of hours two of us had a completed cube and 2 metre run. A few weeks later we stocked with 5 beautiful hybrids from Newland Poultry (highly recommended) who are thriving and producing plenty of eggs. Overall we are delighted with the Eglu Cube, it is a practical, being easy to maintain and clean, attractive addition to the garden. More importantly the "girls" love it! My only very slight concern is that the hens do not seem to like the roosting bars and prefer to sleep in the nesting box. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what solutions have you employed.

Was suprisingly difficult to put together, even though my husband is very practical & skilled at that sort of thing. It's also quite tricky to move & the wheels come unlocked when negotiating over bumpy ground. The ladder up to the cube is rather high off the ground making it awkard for the chickens to enter & leave the cube. However, overall we are pleased with our cube & so are the chickens. It's very easy to clean out, a doddle compared with wooden houses & much more hygenic. The sunshade & the winter cover are both brilliant ideas.

We already had an Eglu Classic, but having recently hatched one chick and bought another our flock was up to 4, so decided to invest in the Cube - it is great, well made, easy to clean, all as expected, but also easier to move around than the Classic, although we still use this as well at the moment for the chicks & their "mum", so had to buy another chicken when bought the Cube to keep the other one company - so currently they all have plenty of room, but will eventually put all 5 in the Cube.

Great item. Plenty of room for them to move around in. Easy to clean and move around the garden. Simple to put together and looks great to. Great improvement to the old wooden one we had.

This is a lovely addition to our garden and a great home for our girls. It's easy to clean, hygenic, and simple to move around the garden. We have the 1m extension which is important as our girls spend a lot of time in the cage.

I am extremely pleased with the high quality build of my green cube. I purchased walk-in runs to attach to eat and would highly recommend these for provide greater space and ease of tidying/cleaning run areas.
