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

My 3 hens are so happy with their new home! After stray hold” in a dog run (I work at the County Animal Shelter & their owner had 10 days to reclaim) then another 14 days in huge wire dog crates (shipping delay) they have reached hen Nirvana. Only assembly issues were rain delays. They have fully explored the nesting and roosting areas and seem content. I love that it can easily be sanitized and I can move it by myself. They will appreciate not being put in a dog crate on the deck every night. I may add an automatic door plus another run section to give them a bit more room . I’m not brave enough to let them free range. It would be embarrassing to have them picked up by Raleigh Animal Control and we have foxes, raccoons & hawks all around us. I’m thinking we need a few at work ( you’d be surprised at how many fowl run afoul of the law here). Suzuka, Moa & Yui say “Thanks”!

I highly recommend the Eglu Cube M2. Initially, I was sceptical of a modern plastic chicken coop design. The reviews sold me on the idea. I've had the Eglu Cube for a month now, it has exceeded all my expectations. The product is high quality, extremely well designed, easy to clean, durable, red might resistant and above all, safe from predators. I have now purchased & installed Omlet's auto door opener, which is great and easy to install. Yes, the coop & auto door is on the expensive side however well worth the cost. 10/10 Omlet.

It would be too small for my 4 large hens if I didn't buy a 2x2m walk-in run to attach it to as the configuration of my garden means I couldn't let them out all day. They never go into the coop during the day (except to lay eggs), and shelter under the coop if it's raining so I'm glad I got the raised Cube. They also love their dust bath under there - always dry. I got the clip-on plastic treads for the steps as I felt the metal ones were too thin and would be very cold in the winter. They were a bit flummoxed by the steps to start with and took a while to dare to come out the first day (I put them straight in the coop and shut it the afternoon I got them), but they are fine with them now, even if they do choose to fly in & out half the time. The litter tray is a little unwieldy to carry to the compost heap and the feather dust flies into your face if it's windy, so I now empty it into a bucket next to the coop. Not absolutely certain about the draught-free ventilation in cold winter as there are gaps around the back door, but time will tell. Could do with a door to the back of the run under the coop to make it easier to clean out poos from underneath.

Bought this Coop for our first go at rearing chickens, It's a fabulous coop, east to clean and maintain, have since purchased additional 1m extension and weather protection, rain covers and wind breakers to make the girls more cozy, they seem to have settled in very quickly and seem at ease within there enclosure, I'd highly recommend this product to others.

Didn’t have any problems putting it together. Our chicks love their new space, but have a hard time with the ladder, they are still young so I imagine they will get it figured out.

The double 3m run took longer to put together than I anticipated but got there in the end. We were short of some butterfly clips and double clips but managed to compromise. I left a phone message but never heard back. It is difficult to access all the run through the small doors. Another small door at the back under the coop would be useful. I have now ordered a 6x6x2 walk in run to give me the option of being in with my hens. It has not arrived yet though. However, it would be useful to be able to retain the doors to the small run so that it can be closed off at any time. I don't think the conversion kit allows for this.

Overall, I'm very happy with my Eglu Cube large chicken coop, even though my chicks are still not out of the brooder. The coop itself is very sturdy, well-made and will be easy to clean. The directions at first glance are a little confusing. However, putting it together was pretty easy after figuring out the flow of the directions. My only real complaint is with the plastic clips. Almost every single clip broke in half as I was constructing the run. Every double clip did break in half. All the clips around the bottom of the run broke apart easily as I moved the coop. I had to buy zip ties to keep the run together just to move it. If your grass is a bit high or you have anything other than a perfectly level yard, you will have problems moving this coop if you buy it with the attached run.

The coop is well thought out and easy to move, even as long as the run is. It looks to be very easy to clean. It took us a little under 4 hours to assemble. All the shipping boxes broke down and fit in box B for an easy trip to the recycling center in our pickup. We can't wait until our little girls are old enough to move in. 8 believe they will be well protected.

The Eglu Cube is well manufactured, easy to clean, well insulated and secure. I am very satisfied overall with the purchase. The one drawback, and the reason I gave it a four star review, is the ladders. The self adhesive grips came off nearly straightaway and had to be stuck back on with a proper glue. The hens have difficulty using the ladder, even now, 2 weeks in and tend to just launch themselves off from the top. A ramp would be a better option, especially for ex commercial hens.

Amazing coop/cube for the chickens Easy to clean/move/put together & looks so so good in the garden! Highly recommend :)
