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

Fairly soon after ordering the cube I was contacted to be informed that delivery would be delayed by 2 weeks. On arrival the cage sides of the run were bent but I managed to straighten them. They were not particularly well packed. I had problems constructing the cube and required advice as things didn't quite line up as expected. When completed it seemed like a good design but manufacturing quality was not 100%. One side has a gap large enough to put a screwdriver through. From all the reports and the price I expected a rolls royce hen house but I feel I got a 'seconds' quality item and service.

I have an Eglu Classic and have just acquired a Cube. The ventilation is just above the slatted perches (i.e. just where the chickens sleep), rather than under the perches in the Classic. I am a bit concerned about them sleeping in a draft. Otherwise, it is very well thought-out, but I am not finding it possible to move on my own. It could do with some handles, and a brake for people who live on slopes.

Having had concerns over whether to buy a cube or timber chicken house partly on cost, I can say that I definitely made the right decision. The cube looks great in the garden and is so practical, east to erect (delivered flat packed because I live in South Wales), and so easy to maintain. Cleaning takes about 10 minutes, the back comes off for easy access and there are no real concerns over red mite etc. The additional investment is well worth while, the chickens and owners are all over the moon with the cube. Highly reccommended.

The cube + extension arrived on the date expected in five large boxes. After 5 hours we managed to assemble everything but we had problems with the lid not closing properly. After a few telephone conversations to Omlet, a new lid arrived two days later. I would say that is well designed but not perfectly manufactured. We have four buff orpington chickens and they really struggle with the ladder. I think this could be improved and we are in the process of modification as I write this! Ideally we could do with another extension for when we are out, but we will have to save up another £100 first. Pros: Easy to clean, Secure Cons: Very Expensive

First class product and first class service. Thankyou Jeff RadcliffeKherilla you`ve

I am thrilled with my purchase and my 6 girls started laying 1 week to day from arrival, just as the Omlet man said they would. I would definitely recommend this to anyone new to keeping chickens as it is so easy to clean. I am thinking of extending the run further for the winter but I am wondering how hard it will be to move.

After a shaky start of not receiving all the parts and then the wrong ones being delivered, we are very pleased with our Eglu and our five 'girls'. Even though we have the extended run, it is certainly even then not big enough to house 10 chickens comfortably, without allowing them access to the garden. We have five and after only 2 weeks they were pecking feathers out as bored. We have had to also invest in an electric fence to allow the hens proper free range access to our land without the fear of being eaten by Mr Fox who regularly appears during the day. Overall we are pleased with the product. It would have been nice to receive even a complimentary bag of food or similar as a gesture for having to wait for part of the delivery going astray and then the wrong replacements being delivered.

I'm very happy with my purchase, the cube arrived on time and was put up by the delivery man in about 30 min. Cube is very easy to clean, which is great. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very pleased with it, it's easy to clean.

Very pleased with my purchase. I like to be able to move it around the garden to keep the wear and tear on the grass minimal. Its easy to clean but without and extension do not feel it would be big enough for more than 3 chickens.
