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

When the run handles arrived I moved the Cube under a tree for some shade. I wrapped the electric fencing around the Cube, next to the tree. During lunchtime I looked out at the run and noticed an overturned bucket and dark figure. Momma bear was in the run! She had nuzzled Up the tent stakes and crawled inside. The hens were huddled under the cube. I sounded an air horn until she broke out of the run and ricochetted off the tree to freedom. Thank goodness for the clip system which allowed her to break out but was easy to put back together. I now use screw tie downs. The Omlet screws are super fast to install and allow tightening with a drill! Thank you Omlet for your thoughtful designs and quality materials!

For some time now we were contemplating having chickens at home. This always seemed to be a good solution in terms of aesthetics and practically. I was always a little put off by the price. I admit I went overboard with the spec I ordered - I didn't need the full monty - but don't regret it as it gives me more flexibility. It arrived quite late in the day and I had already arranged to collect the hens (my fault) so it was a marathon assembly task in fading light. It went well, BUT it is a pain to install the run AFTER assembling the coop. I found out the hard way having assembled to coop quickly intending to attach the run the next day. I also didn't read the full spec properly and thought that a 2m run was 2m from the coop, not 2m from the BACK of the coop. Bear that in mind when working out how much space you need. My hens don't get on too well with the included feeders and prefer to scratch about in a wider tray. They are also now getting quite large and maybe it's getting cosy in there, or maybe the cockerel is getting the girls to behave (good luck with that!!!). I'm sure when the weather gets colder they'll be happy with the cosiness. At the moment Earl Ragnar (the cockerel) likes to keep one of the hens outside. I love the design, I love how easy it is to clean and keep clean. I love how easy it is to check the eggs and to open up and close down. I am very happy with the Eglu overall, but may have made some small changes with hindsight. The Gremlins seem to be very happy and settled in straight away. I also feel very happy that they are safe and secure at night. We have foxes! I recommend it, but also recommend checking your options before you splurge on all the options. Having said that, I just ordered the electric door (^_^)

Previously I had wooden coops but due to a major issue with red mite I decided to purchase an Eglu Cube. All 3 wooden coops have now been swapped with a Cube, delighted with them!

Perfect for what I wanted it’s my second one I have

Love everything about the Eglu Chicken Coop.

very happy with my purchase

I can’t say enough great things about this coop! I started out with a pre made wood coop that didn’t even last a year. This coop was the answer to all my problems! It is incredibly easy to clean and my girls love the nesting box! My egg production has actually gone up since they moved into this coop. I am in love with this coop and I will NEVER get anything different. GO OMLET!!!!!

This is the third coop that I have bought. All were highly rated and comparable in cost, but the Omlet is by far the best. It’s easy to assemble and clean, well designed and of a good quality. The feeder and water bowl are simple but of a good practical design. The only drawbacks is that plastic coop floor and the metal ladder are a little slippery for the chickens, and the coop lets in very little light. Good if you’re trying to keep the crowing down (if you’ve got a gent) but tough when you’re trying to coax the hens in at night. However, you can easily remedy tHis by putting a small battery operated pick light and using self adhesive grit tape on the stairs.

Let's be honest this is nothing short than brilliant, my girls love it and settled into it straight away. So easy to clean, take the roosting bar & drop tray out to hose them off, clean and dry and put back into place in a matter of minutes. 4 Australorp X Hens are sufficent for a Coop & 3 metre run, with some free ranging throughout the day (weather permitting). I have ordered the auto door for summer as we are often away for a night or two, will give me peace of mind when having neighbours looking out for them. Downside is it took 2 adults (with competent IKEA assembling skills) 5 + hours (10-12hrs for 1 person to do it alone would be sufficent and reasonable time to allow for construction) to put together the coop and 3 metre run. The pain of that 5 hours is soon forgotten when you can easily move it (using the wheels), cleaning out the run is a bit difficult as I'm over 6ft tall but frequently moved around our backyard so not to much of a problem, just worth the mention if you'd plan on having the run and cube coop stationary and dont have kids to bribe to muck out for you or are planning on using a deep litter style approach and without the assistance of the wheels to make it easy to move off the litter when doing your full clean out.

My first foray into chicken keeping, I was bedazzled by the array of hen houses available to me. I loved the traditional appearance of the wooden coops and it was a chance conversation with a relative who that made me decide on Omlet. A little space age in appearance, so soon got used to it and it blends in well. But that all cosmetic! The benefits: Easy to set up Very secure, with each component fitting perfectly Easy to keep clean Easy to move Designed to minimise the risk of parasite infestation I’m delighted with the coop and the hens love it too! They put themselves to bed as the sun goes down and all I need to do is shut the door! It’s carefully engineered to be safe, comfortable, both warm and cool, hygienic and easy to maintain. A very well made product.
