Verified Reviews for Eglu Cube® - Large Chicken Coops with Runs
Solid choice
Very happy with this coop. Fox proof (hooray!) and my girls seem to be quite comfortable at night. It's solid and sturdy, and comfortably holds my four within the nesting area, where they also prefer to sleep. Adding the auto door was a great idea, as it has saved us worrying if we are late putting the girls to bed or letting them out and we know they're safe and warm.

Way better than I expected.
I'm really happy with this the girls love it. My only niggles are that the two access doors have to come right off . It would be great if it was hinged with a release pin . I'm disabled and that bits a struggle. I also would have liked the roosting rack in two pieces so there was an option for the girls to sleep in the shavings if they wanted to. Apart from that. I love it,!!!!

Not just for chickens
A few years ago we bought the Large Eglu Cube, the Extreme Temperature Jacket, the stand, run and run covers. We removed the grate and filled both sides with straw. We placed it on one of the plywood platforms in an Omlet run 36' X 9' X 6'. The tenants are not chickens, but very happy feral rescue cats.
Our winters rarely get below 30F. This year, we had sustained below 0 temps with several days as low as -12F. We also had heavy blowing snow. We covered the run with tarps to keep the snow and wind down. Even though the kitties weren't accustomed to these temps, they stayed warm, healthy, and happy.
We highly recommend the Eglu Cube - and all Omlet products - for whatever furry or feathered babies you might have!

Such a fantastic product
Ordered our Cube, plus lots of "essentials" in January, it was delivered within a few days. Customer support team were also so helpful. Held back for 6 weeks before reviewing, as I wanted to have some time to get used everything. Its not cheap, BUT its a fantastically well designed Coop and run. I first got our 5 hens in November, soon realised the wooden Coop and run I bought was not really suitable. ( Although it was designed for up to 10 Hens ) it was cramped, started to leak water and horrendous to clean, I dreaded the cleaning. Now we have a Cube, clearly designed by chicken owners, incredibly well made, the girls have plenty of room, its a dream to move with the wheel kit, extremely easy to clean, its now a pleasure to do. With the slide out tray, its quickly emptied, a quick wash and all done. Deep cleaning the whole Coop is also easy, just a few minutes longer.
The Cube Coop and Run is so well made, very easy to assemble, to be frank it took a little longer than I anticipated, but its straight forward and the instructions and online video's are great. We opted for the 3m run, plus auto door opener, with the internal Coop light, plus a perch. Everything is extremely robust, very easy to move around the garden on your own. We have 5 hens, due to the bad weather its mostly on a hard standing, with wood chips. Some other reviewees have stated that once you have one Omlet product it is addictive. That's so true, but all I can say is "Buy Cheap, Buy Twice" - sadly I did purchase a wooden setup which now stands empty. With hindsight I should have bought the Omlet in the first instance. A separate access door under the cube, would be useful but as a work around I take out the poop tray and perch, to move the wood chips. The auto door and light works a treat, a few minutes before bed time the Coop lights up, so the girls know they have a few more minutes before the door Auto-closes. One night two stayed out too long, after a while I let them in, ever since they have all made sure they are inside ! Now every night the ladies go straight to bed! As the light is changing, the sensor adjusts, perfect. Now we can rest assured they are safe at night, then let out as soon as its light in the morning. They must be Happy Hens as were getting more eggs now !

Fanstastic
I bought my 'Omlet MK2 coup & walk in run August 2020. I had never owned chickens before & did a lot of research on the subject before I purchased anything. I had been put off buying a wooden coup due to the lice & mite issues however, when I come across Omlet I was thrilled. It was a lot of money but as I was planning on having chickens for the long haul, I felt it was better to invest in something that was going to have longevity. The only criticisms I have, is that I didn't find it easy to put together & the instructions were confusing, also the clips to put the walk in run together were terrible, I ended up using bag ties instead. However I have to say I am impressed with the product. It's easy to clean, the chickeroos let themselves in & out morning & night as I bought the automatic door (a must for anyone who like me, struggles with early mornings.) One thing I wish Omlet would sell, are clear tarpaulins as I have found these very hard to get. I have tarpaulins but they make the cage dark & they are a must to keep weather issues at bay. I would Definitely recommend Omlet to anyone who is thinking of getting chooks. Lastly, I bought some fencing to enclose the girls but found I didn't need it & there was no issues with returns.

Amazing!!
I love my Eglu Cube! Great for the Texas weather. Keeps my chickens safe from the elements. Will be buying another one day I’m sure! These things are built to last. My silkies haven’t figured out the ladder yet and it’s been a few weeks. So I have to put them away each night. My bantams go in no problem. The plastic ladder pieces don’t stay on, replacing mine with adhesive traction tape.

Great
Different to the other eglu cube we have. Feels a bit smaller. Hens very happy in it. Instructions quite hard to follow - took a long time to build. Easy to clean.

Hi Catherine!
Thank you for taking the time to review your purchase.
It's great to hear your hens are happy, I will pass the rest of your feedback onto our product design team!
Love the eglu cube!
We are a first time backyard chicken-ers and we purchased the eglu cub with walk in run. We love it! We have read the issues with wooden coops (mites, cleaning, safety issues, etc..) and didn't want to have to deal with any of it and the omlet eglu addresses all of these concerns! We are happy with our purchase!

Great design.
Very happy with my Eglu Cube. The ladies in residence love it, and it's so easy to keep clean - a great and most efficient design.
I'm afraid I found it difficult to put together, even with an assistant, but I seem to be in the minority there.
Now that it's in use, I couldn't be happier with it.

Hi there!
I'm sorry you found it tricky to put together. We do try to make it as easy as possible with tutorials on Youtube as well as the guides we send out alongside the product.
Asides from that, we're really pleased to hear how happy you are with our Eglu Cube itself.
