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

All seems fine. It went together ok but the gaps are bit uneven, around the back panel. I guess the test will be if it leaks. It was put together very quickly by your delivery driver. Two of the birds seemed a bit traumatised and won't come out of the cube, and two are ok. Top marks for delivery though, it arrived on the date you promised and within the time slot.

The cube appears to be very well made and sturdy. The cleaning of dropping trays is easy. The feed and water containers work well. Four hens seem to be about right for the version without the extra run. The chickens seem happy and although we were told by the very helpful delivery man that they were younger and would be unlikely to lay for several weeks, we had our first egg within 2 hours and have had one every day since.

Excellent service - a very, very, very nice man brought the cube and Martha and the Vandellas (sorry chickens) this a.m. It was a joy to see how convenient the plastic cube was in comparison to our old wooden hen house. Cleaning appears to be a doddle. I will probably be buying the extra run later for my girls. I originally thought it a bit expensive - but after seeing the design and engineering that had gone into the making - it makes it easier to see why so pricey!

Omlet man arrived at 10 o'clock, took about an hour to put together cube, very good advice on how to look after and handle the new chickens. Enid and Ethel settled in straight away and at one o'clock Enid laid an egg! Just perfect.

I am delighted with my cube, run and chickens and the delivery guy was fantastic. Now that I've had the setup for a few days I would like to offer feedback. My garden is not large but I wanted the cube as I have arthritis and access to the cube is user friendly. THE CUBE one needs access to all sides of the cube - would it be possible at your next re design to have the pop hole opener on the same side as the egg collection lid- I could then move my cube further over. ( could the droppings boards also be sited this way??) THE RUN I would be prepared to pay for the option of a tall walk in run as I cannot crouch down (arthritic knees) Also because of limited garden space I would like the option of having the gate sited on the same side as egg port. please don't think i am being overly critical as i love my Eglu and your support staff haver been fantasic

Easy to put together and use and the chickens are happy too! A great design.

I bought my cube after using 2 separate eglus for my ladies. On the whole, it was easy to put together but the roof was tricky to align. It is easy to clean out and move and the hens took to it straight away. Sadly the cube itself arrived dirty, with some deep scratches on it (the packaging was undamaged) which I wasn't happy with for the price. I also agree with an earlier comment that the run needs a perch. I have used a rectangular piece of wood with bevelled edges (similar dimensions to the bars inside the cube) and pushed it diagonally through the bars of the run, secured at each end and this works very well. I've also attached an eglu run over the open door of the cube run to extend their run by another 2m

The plastic ladder is somewhat awkward to use for the chickens, it is slippery and chickens find it hard to get a grip on it. This is why they avoid using it. Inside the cube it would be helpful to have some kind of an elevated bar for the chickens so sit and sleep upon. (At least our breed prefers to sleep on bars...)

Very pleased with the cube and although it took my girls a while to work out the stairs they got there in the end! Put it together on my on so it took longer than 2 hours but with help I am sure it would have been quicker! I agree with other reviewers that handles at the end would probably make it easie to move around, and perhaps a door under the cube would make it easier for access that end, especially for those like me with a dodgy back and knees. I was concerned with the price so hope it will be worth it in the long term! But very pleased overall.

Delivery on time as promised, assembly took 4 hours not 2 but well worth the effort and all parts required were in the box. The finished product is excellent and robust. Hens went in the next day and settled without any problem. Our only issue is the amount of time we spend with or just watching the hens. Thanks very much for a great product.
