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

I live in hot, humid, rainy Singapore where wooden chicken coops don’t hold up well and are tough to clean and keep dry. Short of designing and building my own coop this is a brilliant solution! Very well designed and thought out with great attention to detail! I honestly don’t think it could be improved on! My chooks love it and started laying happily once they got settled in. I only wish I had bought more accessories or a bigger run! But I may need a bigger yard for that!!

I am really delighted with this product and so are my chickens!. I have two Warrens and three Silkies and they all get along fine in their new home. The Cube is spacious and the separate nesting box gets around the problem of any eggs being stood on! When it's wet they can shelter under the coop and I put the heavy duty covers around the side for extra protection. Easy and quick to clean out also. Job done!

I absolutely LOVE my Eglu Cube! I check for eggs several times a day and the doors provide such easy access. I clean the coop every week and it takes me less than 5 minutes! My chickens love their spacious and sturdy home!

After a break from keeping chickens we were looking for a completely new setup for our new flock. We previously had a large wooden walk in chicken run and initially hesitated over the premium price associated with the Eglu cube. We are thrilled with the product, it is very well designed and easy to assemble. I find cleaning the cube much easier than my old run and the looks mean it can be placed centrally within the garden without detracting from the surroundings.

While searching for the perfect coop, I initially dismissed plastic. But as I ruled out one wooden coop after another, I finally explored the Eglu. Reviews were excellent, You Tube videos helpful, and I am a fan of modern design. It took me two days to assemble, and I'm proud to say I did it myself. It's a solid structure I know inside and out. Hens took to it immediately. I have a light layer of sand in the poop tray, so daily cleaning is like scooping a cat litter box. I wipe down the roost bars and I'm done. I purchased the automatic door and I love it. While I do check on my flock in the morning and evening, I know they are safe when I can't be there. The only modification made was to add 1/4" hardware cloth over the mesh. I live in a wooded area with every kind of predator and wanted to be sure nothing could slip in, including grabby racoon hands. Eglu is pricy, but well worth the investment.

Our chickens love their new house, I live that it’s easy to clean, easy to collect eggs and stands up to whatever weather is thrown at it (looks nice too!)

I thought it was ridiculous to spend so much money on a coop set up but we’ve had it for less than a week and I can already say it’s worth every penny. I go to bed every night knowing my flock is safe, I wake up every morning to clean the coop, which only takes me 5 minutes. I can move it with ease and it looks pretty good in my urban backyard. The flock loves it too. They know they are living in style!

wheels are not steady; right wheel axel is torqued definitely needs TWO people to assemble the Run hygiene aspects are top-notch

I was lucky enough to stumble across someone selling their Eglu and 4 hens on Craigslist back in July. I loved the coop immediately! It's so easy to keep clean and clear of pests. The back door and egg door design are great for protection. I never worry about anything getting to the flock while they're asleep. While cedar coops are really nostalgic looking, these coops are durable and won't require replacement any time soon. I was so impressed that when we moved to our new home, I purchased a second (purple) coop for the 5 additional hens that I added to the flock. Now, they reside in the Chick Inn (ha, ha, ha...) converted greenhouse and free range in a fenced 1/4 acre. Because I have 2 coops, the girls can randomly select which coop they want to sleep in every night. Sometimes I have 7 hens in one coop- and they're all quite cozy! For those of you wondering how many hens can fit in one, I can only say that they seem to like piling in at night. Though some of my hens are pullets still (born in June), they're all sizable girls. I've got 2 Wellsumer pullets, 1 Australorp pullet, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Blue Copper Maran, 1 Easter Egger, 1 Russian Orlaf and 2 black Ameraucana pullets. Watching 7 of them climb in together is quite entertaining. Recently I purchased 3 roosting bars for the run and an Extreme Temperature Jacket for one of the coops. That way the hens can choose which coop they like best (one that's slightly cozier or one without a jacket). Did I mention that both coops have the auto door installed? L-O-V-E that feature! As a person who works earlier than the sun rises, I don't want my girls exposed to chilly air this winter before they need to be. I set them to open on their own with the rising sun and don't worry my ladies at all! I have to say, that I have considered getting a 3rd coop so that I can keep adding to my flock. My husband may wonder at my sanity, but really... Can anyone have too many hens??

I believe our Cube was in the second shipment ever to the United States and here we are over 11 years later and it is still just as amazing as it was back in 2009. It has been absolutely great from the beginning. We have never had a predator incident and our chickens tend to live good long lives (7 and up). Our oldest girl will turn 10 here in a couple months. I have absolutely no complaints. It has been easy to keep clean and incredibly functional. Okay, one complaint. I really want a purple one, but cannot justify replacing ours because it works just as well as it did over a decade ago. Thanks Omlet!
