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

Although the instructions said “two people”, I managed to put it up on my own, in pouring rain, and I’m well into my 70’s. The instructions were the clearest I’ve ever seen. My chooks took to it immediately, and it is SO easy to clean. Absolutely perfect!

I am so glad I came across Omlet Eglu chicken coops when I was looking to replace my existing coop. Timber coops are not cheap and they claim to be long lasting but mine was brittle, rotting and falling apart. As soon as I saw the Eglu moulded plastic which could be hosed clean in minutes I knew this was going to outlast any timber construction and keep my chickens housed in a much cleaner and well ventilated environment. My 70yo step dad offered to construct the Eglu which I gratefully accepted. He did a fantastic job without any hassles and completed in 1 day. I moved the coop and 3m run by myself to a spot in the garden. I like being able to easily move my chooks to a fresh patch of grass every week or 2 and I let them out to free range in the garden a few times a week when I’m home to keep an eye on them. We have had trouble with foxes in the past but I feel very confident that my girls are safe in their Omlet run.

Such a well designed coop - so easy to keep clean; and with the automatic door, keeps our hens safe and sound.

Really wish I had bought one of these years ago, they make chicken keeping so much easier. Great to keep clean & I can move it myself effortlessly. They are expensive but well worth the price. The only negative is that it took us much longer to put together than the time estimated by Omlet!

This is a nice solid large house which I think will be nice and warm in the winter (I do have concerns that it would get too hot in the sort of summer heat we have been getting - as it has no sliding windows? and once the sun hits the house it is really warm in there) the nesting partition has been really useful to use as a seperate bedroom for new birds to get used to each others sounds. Easy to clean and can be used without the roosting tray (my birds seem to prefer sleeping directly on the bedding).

LOVE everything about this coop. A bit challenging to assemble due to the some screw got worn out otherwise I have no complaints. So easy to clean and so durable. My chickens had no issues even on their first day with this new coop. I highly recommend this coop for 6 chickens. I also appreciate awesome customer service Omlet provides. Awesome buy!

My eglu cube has already saved my birds by keeping a raccoon and a fox out. Very happy with my purchase and my girls seem to like it very much. My husband and I put together the cube and run, but since we a older had a bit of a problem getting the double clips to close (arthritis). We ended up buying extra zip ties to compensate. Overall, great purchase.

The coop works very well in the small area I have available for my chickens. The coop itself was easy to put together and very secure - the run a bit more fiddly. Expect it will take a couple of hours at least. It is very easy to clean and maintain. My only "gripe" would be the plastic inserts that go over the stairs don't fit very well. This is minor - just a small irritation, but I wonder how long they will last. The coop and run are pretty and blend in with the yard. I chose the Eglu for its design and ease of cleaning. I live in a neighborhood near to a wilderness area, so we get predator animals such as foxes, coyotes, hawks, raccoons, and the occasional bear. I am quite sure the coop and run will hold up to anything but, perhaps, a determined bear. I keep an outside light on to foil the bear and I bring the feed in every night, which the bear can smell from a distance. After about a month, so far, so good.

Well thought out design that is easy to use and keep clean. Our hens are no longer troubled by red mite. Assembly is straight forward. This is so much better than our old wooden coup and I can heartily recommend it, particularly if red mite control is problematic in a wooden coup.

We love it, the chickens love it now - at first they had to be put in bodily but soon got used to it. Putting it together wasn’t as easy as it looks on utube! It might be for an agile 17 - 50yr old but senile 70s found it hard to get squashed in to put screws in then couldn’t get out. It certainly took us more than 2hrs to put together. Of course anyone adept in Lego would manage quite easily. It cleans easily and moves easily - even on uneven ground. I would certainly recommend it.
