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

Easy to clean and looks good. Omlet customer service is great. Would have got 5 stars but I found the ladder useless for my new ex bats, and I had to replace with a wooden one. They could not jump to the bottom rung, and then were falling through the rungs and sliding off at the top. Also concerned that, even with a run extension, there is not a lot of run room for 6 hens. They all seem happy though.

My cube was delivered and set up by a very nice chap and i have to say i love it. Its so sturdy and simple to use, so much better than the wooden coop i purchased previously. Well worth having to beg, steal and borrow to pay for it!!!!!

We bought our cube around 2 years ago and it is a great product. Yes it is expensive, but as said in previous reviews you get what you pay for. Our chooks love it and it is so easy to keep clean as if you have had chickens before the poop doesn't stop at night!!! I'm sure anyone who purchases one will not be disappointed, were just in the process of getting the extension for the run.

Our hens love their new home. When it was snow all over the garden they spent more time in their house so it must be warm. The previous winter they stayed outside their old wooden hut. Hurrah for the eglu. It's much more hygienic as well. I would recommend this hen house to any enthusiastic hen owner.

Thrilled with the cube. It looks great and so secure. Also the cleaning is so so easy to do. Love it.

Really pleased how easy ordering, getting delivered and constructed the cube was. However not sure about keeping 6 chckens in a 2 metre run. Since purchaseing it I have made a big fenced enclosure and have the cube inside it.

The Omlet staff have all been very helpful, including the gentleman who built the Cube quickly in the gathering darkness of a December afternoon. I have since added a 1m extension to the run, which I managed quite easily. It is my first ever henhouse, so cannot comment on its relative merits, but it is certainly easy to clean (so far) and surprisingly warm at nights, although we have added a warming pad and replaced the roosting bars with thick straw as our ex-batts are not yet able to roost. We have six ex-batts, and although the Cube itself is spacious for them, I would not want to put more than six in the 3m run, even though it is advertised for ten. The ladder is unfortunately inappropriate for ex-batts and we have had to build a wooden ramp in its place. A bigger door into the run would also be a huge improvement - anyone lacking agility, or over about 5'5" tall has to crawl in, which can be unpleasant and limits the number of 'helpers' available. These two problems aside, I am very happy with the Cube and Omlet in general.

I have had my cube eglu (with 3 metre run) for a year now. Straight away my 4 hens started to lay and have continued to do so. I sadly cannot let my ladies out in the garden to roam free as my dog is waiting to eat them!! The cube is extremely easy to keep clean daily and every 2 months I take off a top layer of soil and re-bark the area as it gets very muddy and smelly (as I cannot move the eglu around my garden). The hens are nice and safe from Mr. Fox. On the down side I hate the size of the door into the coop. I find it hard to bond with the hens as I have to crawl in literally on my belly, also crawling through chicken poo is NOT NICE!! The cube is really quite drafty, and in the -10 degree weather and snow we have had recently, I am surprised they survived. The poo on the perches was frozen solid, so you can imagine how cold it must have been in there for them at night!! Overall great product, but the door needs re-sizing!!!

Let's start with the cube... I'm so glad we decided to go for the cube. Its certainly bigger than the normal Eglu, but then you're not going to have to replace it in six months when you want a few more chickens. The extended run makes this more than adequate for those who would ideally love to allow free range, but where location means its just not practical. But for me the reason why we gave this 5 star was really attriobutable to the customer service. Yes we were disappointed when one of the end skirts was missing, one of the metal catches was bent and one of the lid runners also needed replacing, but these items were despatched quickly and without any fuss. In summary... we're really impressed with the Eglu Cube, but just as impressed with the customer service when things go wrong. For me, this is when a company shows its true colours by their attitude to problem solving. Full marks for Omlet!

After 71 (true!) years of chicken keeping, on and off, The Eglu is so much easier to clean out. At 78 years of age, I was finding it a little difficult scraping out wooden houses. A quick swill out with a hose pipe or watering can is so much easier. The only criticism I have is that I can't get in the run as the door is too small for my old back and knees!!!
