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

The cube makes chicken keeping easy for all. My 9 year old son and I were able to build it in 1 hr 40 mins, which was very impressive. It is very easy to clean out, a 10 minute job. Best of all it is easy to move around the garden so the lawn is not being destroyed.

The standard run is too small for the number of chickens indicated by Omlet if they are kept in it all the time. I only have 4 and it is too crowded for them, resulting in bad pecking behaviour. The hens (ex-battery) haven't mastered the ladder so they fly out of the house and bang straight in to the cage. During the day they knock off the grub feeder. On the plus side I have full confidence in the security of the hens against predators and the house is easy to keen clean and do the daily routines.

Love it, love it, love it - It keeps my chickens safe from our local Mr Fox. It's so easy to clean (I have cleaned a lot of animal housing in my time and this is by far the easiest). I had no problems constructing my Eglu Cube and did most of it alone. All the pieces were there and went together well. If there was a wish list I would ask for a handle on the 1 metre run extension to make it easier to move, as moving the complete unit is a two person job. Oh and my chickens love it too!

Had the cube for just over a month now. We all love it. Omlet came and set it up. The girls took to it really quickly and made it their home. It's easy to keep clean. It's really well designed. In my opinion it's the best chicken house on the market. :)

Really pleased with the eglu cube so far, swift delivery and easy setup, the cube is movable but does require two people what ever the instructions say and could do with two handles on the actual eglu house for ease of movability, easy to clean, really low maintenance, chickens have taken to drinking out of the top of the nipple drinker and we have now moved drinker to the floor as the girls much prefer to dunk their heads in the water, so maybe a choice of drink dispensers should be on offer when buying the cube package but over all would give the product 4 out of 5.

I bought a cube with extension, my 3 chickens enjoy it and it is easy to clean... but it is certainly not easy to move (possibly due to the 1m extension). The nesting box also gets wet when it rains, so not great for the amount of money it costs. The rain covers are a bit pathetic too. However, it looks cool in my garden!

A great product. loved by everyone.

Great that our girls are now fox proof BUT given the cost of the Cube, it ought to be perfect by now. To my mind there are 4 main design faults: 1. No internal night perch - why ever not? Our girls end up sleeping in the nesting box which means that the eggs and they get covered in poo - not good 2. Not enough steps on the ladder - it must be easy to add one more, surely? 3. An external day perch would be excellent at the back of the run underneath the coup to ensure they could perch somewhere when locked in the run. This would give them a bit of comfort when the ground is wet. 4. The grub is great but the glug doesn't provide them with water quickly enough especially when the weather has been but. I've ended up abandoning it and hooking a water container up instead. Overall, great for peace of mind from a safety point of view but still lots of improvements to be made on the design front.

I love the idea of the cube, it looks great, it is fantastic and easy to clean, and easy to access the birds and eggs. I have had problems with mites, and the plastic makes it very hard for them to hide and easy to treat. However I am disappointed how small it is for 10 birds. I am also slightly concerned it may be drafty in the winter- this may be how I put it together, but could not find a flatter surface in my garden to construct it. It is a great hen house, but I would recomend no more than 8 birds, and definitely a 3m run.

The eglu cube is great. We bought it complete with 6 chickens who started laying the same day! The guy who delivered was really helpful, he put the cube together and showed us how to hold the chickens and clip their wings. It's easy to clean and can be moved quickly with 2 people, it's a bit of a struggle on your own! We have put a fence around the run so during the day the chickens can have a large area to run around in! Would recommend the Eglu to anyone!
