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

Fantastic compared to what is currently available, however, a few little simple design changes would make it an excellent product. Firstly, the wheels currently leaves marks and wear out the grass. This would be avoided simply by making the lever track (the space the levers move through to pull the wheels up and down at the back) slightly longer so that you could pull the levers up off the ground when at rest. Secondly, Im always anxious that the chickens will escape when I change their water and feed. If there were some separate small doors above where the water and feed were located (similar to many bird cages but secured with pins) then it would make this job much easier. Thirdly, I find it hard to move the eglu around. There is nothing to hold onto at the back and I don't want to apply too much pressure at the front wire as I feel it isn't strong enough and may bend or become misshapen over time - especially when the ground isn't smooth or the wheels are in a slight hole (because of the pressure they exert on the ground -see problem number 1 above). A couple of handles at the back that are made out of very strong plastic (like the cube itself) would be really helpful. Apart from the above I think it is an excellent product and well worth the extra money spent. Makes chicken keeping easy. Thanks! Rachelle

Two years ago I build my own hen house and run, I was so proud of my self and our 3 hens seemed very happy - that was until the mites arrived!!! It became impossible to erradicate them dispite how many times I cleaned them out and treated it and the hens. When I took the plunge and bought the Egloo Cube I dismantled my home-made contraption and discovered millions of the mites hidden away from my cleaning efforts. No such problem with the egloo. It is so easy to manage on a daily basis and I even look forward to giving it a thorough clean every three weeks. Its actually worth every penny and it looks great in the garden too. Highly recommended.

very good product. delivered on time. excellent customer service

the girls (chickens) really like their new coop, and I like it, as there is easy access to all the parts that need regular cleaning and it is so easy to keep clean. Mega bucks to buy but worth it as everyone is happy. The delivery and assembly was also much appreciated and was eggcelently executed, thankyou.

Having been let down by Parcelforce for 3 days as they kept trying to deliver my Cube to the wrong address, I was apprehensive about how well the Omlet Cube was going to live up to its great reviews - but its fantastic! I built it myself in the afternoon and the newly arrived chickens love it. Its so easy to clean out and requires minimal maintenance. Its also a great feature for the garden. Although expensive compared to some other chicken houses I think its worth every penny.

I do love this cube for my hens..I call it their penthouse and my three hens are now officially pampered however it does have flaws... The only reason that the house doesn't score 5 stars is because a couple of the joints don't line up immaculately, initially this was quite annoying as part of the reason for having an Omlet product is because its a design item. If there's anything else to mention its the ladder, its spacing is quite deep between each step, with little grip; initially the hens struggled to get down it, they tumbled off, flew off, fell off and crashed into the cage run at the end! However they have now mastered it..I want to have chicks reared in there, so not too sure how going to cope with this, will probably have to make a new ladder for them!

Really pleased with our new eglu cube, we upgraded from the classic as we have caught the bug for keeping chicken and have increased the size of our flock. The design is excellent, assembly straightforward, omlet have thought of everything. Our only issue has been with the ladder, our bantams couldn't manage it at all and slipped off the rungs, one even got stuck between the rungs. We have had to construct our own wooden ladder. Otherwise we can't fault it.

I have had a number of wooden arks in the past, and I promised myself that the next I got would be an Omlet. I couldn't be more pleased. It is so well designed and easy to use and clean. I have 8 girls in it, with the 1 metre run extension, and it opens straight into an enclosure using the 42 metre omlet fencing. My boys collect the eggs, and I clean the droppings trays without going into the enclosure (thereby avoiding small shoes treading through droppings - very important!!). I line the trays with newspaper and this all tips straight into a compost bin, and use shredded newspaper in the egg nest area which they love. It is great knowing that I won't have to do battle with red mite again too, a perennial problem with a wooden ark. Five stars all the way on this one omlet - thank you.

The evidence on the ground this morning shows that Mr Fox and probably some family members came to visit my chickens last night. No damage at all to the run or house. Thanks Omlet - from me and my girls!

Purchased the Eglu Cube for our chickens at school. They love their new home. It is easy to clean and maintain, which is ideal, as the children will help to look after them.
