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

I have never been much of an 'animal' person and was a little reluctant when my husband and children started talking about keeping chickens! However, having decided to purchase an Eglu the whole situation seemed a whole lot more manageable. Once it arrived I realised that it was even easier than I had thought! Having an Eglu makes keeping chickens so simple. They are easy to keep clean and all the everyday jobs are so much simpler. I would recommend one to anyone who can afford one!

We got our Eglu last year and it has been brilliant. They are not cheap, but I don't have to scrub or preserve roughsawn wood or worry about the kids getting splinters or poked by wire or nails. We have an extended run and thanks to sterling advice from the Omlet Club, have adapted the end so that we can step into the run by undoing one carabina. I would strongly advise anyone buying an Eglu (especially those new to Chooks like I was) to read the Omlet Club pages and call Omlet with any questions. Unfailingly polite and patient - great company!

I bought this to replace a wooden coop as I was having problems with mites, quite bad as it was making the feathers on my chickens drop off. After a couple of weeks they seem to be picking up and its definately cleaner and easier to clean, hopefully we will be bug free soon!! Would recommend highly

Very pleased with the Eglu Cube and chickens made an excellent transition to their new home. Unfortunately the ladies cannot figure out how to drink from the super glug drinker and so has to be placed near to the ground so they can dip their heads in. My only disappointment is that the front and rear skirts for the run were missing from the order. After ringing however, they were duely sent in the post and the run is finally complete.

After 3 years of the original eglu I upgraded to the cube. An excellent move - a safe height - simple to clean and no back ache for O.A.P.s. It is so easy to move even with a double run extension! My 4 chicks don't have to queue up to lay eggs and there is a spacious nesting area. The first night my nervous chicks huddled underneath it so I went in and put them up in their new bedroom and since then they love it hopping on and off the ladder with ease. It was assembled by a pleasant Omlet representative who ran through everything with me. When I first cleaned them out (so simple) and noticed that one of the trays under the perches did not 'click' into place I rang Omlet (excellent customer relations and help) who suggested I tried swapping them round and if no success they would send another one out -no need to as swapping them did the trick. This product is worth every penny - fox proof, easy to keep mite proof - nothing compares to it! Plus 4 Pepperpot chickens who have settled well and become very friendly.

Bought the cube to move the girls into from the Eglu. They haven't yet moved so this is based on building only. It was a PIG to put together. TWO HOURS? You have GOT to be joking. It was at least twice that with both of us working flat out and we had to resort to a hammer in the end. We were a washer short and the run didn't want to fit. The ladder was a nightmare because the holes didn't line up. One side piece really didn't want to fit flush and all I can say is that if that's how you keep draughts out the hens must like a lot of fresh air. The lid was awful because no matter how much you adjusted the runners the only way to engage the lid properly was to put it on backwards. It did eventually go together and I hope the girls will like it but they will have to be ecstatic about it for my husband to forgive it the trauma of its assembly!

We have been really pleased with our purchase, it is so easy to keep clean, it is versatile, and moveable, safe - no sharp edges to anything, so our two grand-daughters are not in danger of getting caught on chicken wire or splinters from any wood, and they really love wandering up the garden to look at the chickens and collect the eggs with Nana. It is also fox proof and when the hens are away at night we know that they are safe.

very practical, easy to clean, comfortable for the animals and safe and warm. Our chicken loves their cube. The most easiest way to keep chicken in the garden!

reasonably easy to assemble chickens happy in their new home

Love it and the chickens love it too. I would like to mention the guy who came round to build the cube - he was more than helpful and was very passionate about his work - he is a very good representative for Omlet.
