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

My girls and I are very happy with the accommodation and so easy to keep clean. The feeder and drinker is excellent - I keep them up high so they can't kick the food out so much when looking for the corn. Two hens have been laying since the first week.

Going from a wooden ark coop to the Cube has been as great one for us - easy to clean, stable & secure. Took the chooks a while to get use to using the ladder and 2 weeks down the line a few of them a still a little woobly on their feet but we think they love it too. Proof in the pudding. All our chooks had stopped laying and within a week of having the Cube 2 of them are laying again. We are extremely happy with our purchase. Thank you Omlet

I love my cube and so do Gloria, Hilda and Norma my chooks. It has been so easy so far to clean out and takes next to no time to do. I had eggs within 10 days of the chooks arriving so they must be happy with their house. The colour looks great in the garden and kind of blends in!! The man who delivered it all and put it together was fab and made it look real simple (not if I had of done it though!)He gave us lots of info as well and answered our questions. Thanks very much for my lovely cube and gorgeous chickens. Your description of the cube when I was choosing which eglu to have is spot on. It does do exactly what it says on the tin!!

I live in London and did lots of research on the most suitable chicken house and run and the eglu came top of the list. I opted for the cube in order to give my girls as much space as possible. Customer service was fantastic, the driver put the eglu cube and run together for me and even came back again when I couldn't shut the door to fix it. The eglu is easy to clean either with a hose and a cloth or even easier with a power spray. So far it has proved fox proof I was surprised at the lay out expecting the roosting bars to be higher. This is a really good hen house for city dwellers as it is easy to keep clean and free from mites. The negatives are it is very expensive plus the winter cover could be drastically improved.

Great product. Easy to clean and move. Doesn't look as garish as I thought it would in our rural garden. The girls got used to it quite quickly considering they've not used a ladder before! My only gripe would be that the roosting bars are a little too wide for my bantams to roost on comfortably, subsequently they all squeeze into the nesting box to go to sleep! The ease of cleaning is a joy - not having to bend down and being able to disinfect it properly is a real boon. It will come into its own when Red Mite season is in full swing. Having had trouble with red mite in my wooden houses it can be quite a job to keep it under control. There won't be a problem from now on! The service by Omlet has been great - thanks to all the team. A great product - wish they'd been around years ago!

Really impressed with the quality of the cube. Very easy to move around and build quality is fantastic. Looks really snazzy in the garden too! Chickens are very content and seem to be taking well to their new surroundings.

Im delighted with this. The gentleman who delivered it put it up for us and gave us information about Chicken keeping, and showed me how to clip the girls wing. Its nice and easy to keep clean, and my girls are very happy to go to bed each night. They use the ladder to sit on and get a higher view of the garden during the day. My Chickens(pullets) are beautiful, they all have different characters, (I have two Gingernut Rangers and two Miss Pepperpots) Its great looking out the kitchen window and watching their antics. Cant wait for my first eggs. Thankyou best wishes Sue

Whilst it looks funky and is definitely easy to clean there are a few things that could be changed. There is no perch for the birds. We have made one outside, would like to have one inside but cannot see anywhere to fit it. The ladder we feel is insufficient. The hens were slipping all over and falling off. We have made a ramp to the floor with slates for easy access. The silver sliding locks on the roof to close and open are not easy to grab. We have attached string to make this easier and prevent fingers from being caught in the grooves.

I would love to see a viewing panel (with a slide over cover) so you could check the girls are all ok when inside. My big moan is the tiny access gate to the run which is fiddly to open when your hands are full - and it is a challenge when you are not a supermodel athelete to get inside to do any kind of run housekeeping or looking after their welfare

All in all a fab product, easy for me to move and clean by myself and despite being large doesn't look out of place like my wooden hutches did! Now I may have to upgrade my cockerel's house to an eglu to stop him staring accusingly at the girls' mansion :D
