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

Having had wooden coops in the past, I have to say I am a total covert to Omlet chicken housing, It' so easy to clean and takes minutes to empty the tray, It's an absolute game changer for me.

So pleased with our recent purchase of Omlet Eglu Cube. We bought the extra run with this cube and are delighted with it. It is so well made, easy to assemble and sturdy, I feel it will last for years. Previously we had a large wooden set up which we only purchased 18 month ago and although was not cheap is now living at the local rubbish dump! I would thoroughly recommend this item together with feeding accessories. Well done Omlet!!

We are new to having a backyard flock and bought this coop in July. We got our Eglu on the recommendation of a friend who is a vet and a chicken owner. While expensive, it has proved to be worth every penny - just as billed by our friend (and others here writing reviews that I read many of!). Our hens stayed cool in the summer and have been happy and warm with no additional heaters despite a snowy winter here in the northeast! It’s also easy to access for eggs and easy to keep clean. We have recommended this to all the intrigued friends who have seen it in our backyard. We got the 6 foot run and have just ordered the larger walk in run that we can’t wait to receive. We could not be happier with this coop!

I have had my cube for a few months. I already own the walk in run and 2 go’s. I plan on getting chicks in the spring and needed more room. My chickens love the extra space. I did attach this to my walk in. I am a single woman. I was able to build with the help of my teenage daughter and connect to the run within a couple hours. I love that I don’t have to bend down to clean.

I needed the help of my husband and kids to put it together, but now our girls have a very nice coop with an automatic door! It’s easy to clean and keeps them warm and dry.

Have had my Cube since August now and have waited to test it out before reviewing. It was a huge amount of money to spend so I did masses of research but have to say it’s been worth every penny; I love, love my Eglu, and so do my 9 Bantams (you could fit at least 5 more in the cube but only if you have a large run or can free range them). I put the cube together on my own but I was so excited that I took my time. It was easy with the fab instructions and video available and nothing was missing - a great achievement given the number of parts. The 3m run takes longer to assemble than the Cube but is fine snd is just about manoeuvrable around the garden with one person. I did find that with 9 hens the ground in run gets very quickly trashed so have since bought a 2m x 3m walk in run and then an extension snd am now about to invest in the Omlet fencing so that the girls can free range without trashing my flower beds! Once you have one Omlet product it is addictive. With hindsight I would not have bought the run extension and gone straight for the walk in run as it is quite tricky to try to crawl into the run to clean it etc and my one very minor gripe is that it would be great to have a run access door under the cube as well as at the other end fir ease of putting things into the run at that end too. I did purchase the kit ti put in a new door but have never used it as I got the walk in soon after. Fantastic product, nearly faultless company if only they were still manufactured in the UK. Great customer service. Thank you Omlet. Nearly forgot: one fabulous tip I got from the forum was to put a light inside the house; I did this on the second night snd all the girls went straight to bed!

We have had our Eglu MK II coop with the 9' run for about 2 months and have loved it. It was relatively easy to assemble - I would take their instructional advice and conduct the assembly on a flat surface with a helper, but one person can do it. It's very functional (great for the chickens) and easy to clean (great for me). Our chickens were walking into the run at dusk and into the coop itself at dark without encouragement by the second day. I haven't come up with the perfect solution to latching the run doors (the coop door is a no-brainer and the automatic open/close door accessory is handy), but the whole unit allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of how you add or subtract parts and features. All in all a great product!

I love this product. I've upgraded from the Go Up because I've got more chickens. Its robust, fox-proof and looks good in my garden. The chickens especially appreciate the sheltered area under the coop. I found it took longer than I expected to set-up but it is worth it for the extra features in particular the deeper droppings tray and the separate nest box area. I live in a windy place, and it is so solid it doesn't budge even in strong winds. Built to last and easy to clean. Only thing I would change is to consider using part recycled plastic to improve sustainability. Otherwise its awesome.

Our girls settled into their new Cube very quickly. I was worried that they might struggle with the ladder but they’re up and down in a flap, no bother. I attached the weather shield underneath the cube and this has kept the ground dry and afforded some shelter from the wind and snow. I covered the run with very fine mesh horticultural wind break so keep out wild bird droppings. It works a treat. I didn’t want to use tarpaulins in our exposed garden just in case the whole thing blew away. I love the design of the cube. It’s robust, well insulated and easy to clean.

bought around christmas its perfect
