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

Worth every penny for a well thought out and constructed chicken coop. Easy to keep clean as an added bonus.

Fantastic product my hens love it and so do I. Really like how easy it is to clean out and the nesting area is wonderful and dark just what my girls like when laying an egg.

Ordered a cube, run, autodoor and fencing during COVID quarantine, had to wait a long time but it was worth the wait and the cost. So well designed, the Omlet designers really worked through all the details... made our first experience of chicken keeping so much easier and our girls are so happy and healthy. Assembly definitely takes a long time, but it's not hard... just use the videos and don't rush, it all comes together exactly as described. Being able to move the coop around the yard with the wheels to fresh grass is brilliant and the chickens love the change of scenery and fresh grass. Had a couple of minor issues with the run extension but was really pleased with the responsiveness and friendliness of customer service... they absolutely stand behind the product, which is important when making this kind of investment. The autodoor is a life-changer if you work outside the home... makes the whole thing so much more possible and stress-free.

Although the assembly directions were spare, we had no problem putting this together. I came to appreciate only having to read one line per step rather than pages. The coop is easy to take apart and keep clean and we have had no odor issues at all. The girls feel quite at home here.

Been using the coop for several weeks now and could not be happier. Building it was time consuming but largely straightforward. Speeded up the process by using a second pair of hands, though my ‘assistant’ didn’t read their instructions properly and cut our supply of ‘double run’ clips for attaching the front mesh panels in half while I wasn’t looking, assuming they were joined by mistake… Have no experience of cleaning a wooden coop but suspect the plastic Omlet is much more straightforward. Had it for a week before putting in an order for the optional wheels. Think they pretty much an essential purchase, particularly if you add an extra 1 meter to the run. It makes cleaning the run floor much easier as you can move coop on your own. Time will tell how it stands up to long term use but am very optimistic.

If you’re wondering how hard it is to assemble, I’m a 71year old grandmother, and I put it together by myself, in a day and a half. It’s very sturdy and attractive. The directions are easy to follow. My chicks are just a few weeks old so they haven’t used it yet but I know they’ll be happy and safe in it.

We, and our hens love the new eglu cube 2

me and the chuks love it and I feal safe in the knowledge that that pesky fox who killed my other chuks can't get to them,the little ones find it difficult to clime the steep steps and so do the ducks but hope fully they will win thank you soon much for my safe house its brilliant . Julia

We bought this product (our second eglu) so we could keep chickens again. The eglu has a new design and comes in 5 separate boxes. All the packaging was excellent so everything arrived without damage. I built the eglu in about 5 hours so it takes a while but the end result is worth it. It is a quality hen house. My one criticism is is matching of the M10 nuts and bolts. A few times the threads seem to grind and on a couple of occasions the threads crossed and I couldn’t retrieve the screws. Overall, you will be hard pushed to find a better hen house. Just be extra careful when you are screwing it together and don’t cross threads.

I wish I’d bought one years ago. For a bit of extra money over a wooden coop, I’d have saved myself hours of cleaning, repainting, trying to keep red mite away (how they loved that wooden house), re-roofing etc. This is just great. So easy to clean, easy to access (eggs and main house), secure, robust. One of the chickens can’t get her head around the ladder, so I’ve had to prop the old wooden one there instead, I think the plastic steps are too slippy for her (she’s a big weighty chicken). I wasn’t anticipating the detailed flat-pack build required, but the instructions were clear and it didn’t take that long. Very pleased with this purchase.
