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

I love this product. I've upgraded from the Go Up because I've got more chickens. Its robust, fox-proof and looks good in my garden. The chickens especially appreciate the sheltered area under the coop. I found it took longer than I expected to set-up but it is worth it for the extra features in particular the deeper droppings tray and the separate nest box area. I live in a windy place, and it is so solid it doesn't budge even in strong winds. Built to last and easy to clean. Only thing I would change is to consider using part recycled plastic to improve sustainability. Otherwise its awesome.

Our girls settled into their new Cube very quickly. I was worried that they might struggle with the ladder but they’re up and down in a flap, no bother. I attached the weather shield underneath the cube and this has kept the ground dry and afforded some shelter from the wind and snow. I covered the run with very fine mesh horticultural wind break so keep out wild bird droppings. It works a treat. I didn’t want to use tarpaulins in our exposed garden just in case the whole thing blew away. I love the design of the cube. It’s robust, well insulated and easy to clean.

bought around christmas its perfect

I originally wanted this coop but thought it too big for my garden. I ended up later buying the Mk2 as I needed an automatic door so my daughter wouldn’t have to come in the dark and one does not fit the smaller coop. I think to might have been able to make a frame but no time. The Mk 2 is far superior and really takes up no significant extra space. The hens use the nesting area which they didn’t in the smaller one. It’s easier to clean and altogether a better purchase. Just sorry I wasted money but learned to follow my instinct maybe now!

The cube is probably too big for my 2 bantam hens but chicken maths will kick in and it'll be great to add to the flock. Keeps them nice and warm (tested with a digital thermometer, stayed above zero when it was minus 1/2/3 outside. Easy to clean, open and collect eggs. Its feels safe for them. Only slight issue is rain dripping down through the door turner, but its only at the very front and is because I have a waterproof leading down to that area, Im sure it wouldn't be as bad if the coop was stand alone. I found it was easy to put together by myself, took a while with the stand but feels nice and sturdy. Love that I can add an auto door at a later date.

Oh how I love this coop! I upgraded from the Eglu to give my ladies more space (and perhaps sneak in a couple more) and I’m so impressed with it. It’s really big and incredibly sturdy. We set it up with the automatic door and the coop light and it’s so funny to watch them plodding towards the light at bedtime! There’s a lovely big laying area so they aren’t squabbling over it, and they seem to be warm and toasty at night. It’s so much more straightforward to clean out without having to stoop down. We have ours attached to the walk in run and it’s making chicken keeping an absolute pleasure.

Got it together. Now waiting on chicks! I am planing on 6 hens.

This coop is first class - superb design - easy to keep clean - great idea just having one long nest box ---- my ladies just love it - highly recommend - expensive, but worth every pound ----- [the quality remains long after the cost is forgotten] - no doubt, the Merceds Benz of Coops!

The Eglu Cube has been great! It's a bit pricey but I'm finding the convenience is worth it. I love the slide-out droppings tray and how easy it is to clean the whole coop. The hens are a small breed and the coop holds all twelve comfortably. They pile up together and there's still plenty space available. We've had some below freezing temps and the girls seem just fine. The space holds their body heat well. Moving it is a breeze and I can do it on my own. I like that the auto door fits it seamlessly. Two minor issues, though - 1) the steps leading into the coop are slick and my hens have a hard time gripping them, along with the interval being too widely spaced for short legs. Most of them leap from the ground to the top few steps and flap inside before losing footing. The other is the run door "lock". The pin that holds the run door shut is loose and easy to remove. In an area with nimble-fingered raccoons, like mine, these could potentially be inadequate. As a precaution, I've put locking carabiners on the door to make it more difficult for them. So glad to have this coop! I'd definitely get another one!

This is my second Cube and third Omlet coop and they are perfect for living on an orchard. The coops themselves are really sturdy and have withstood wind, rain, storms and snow. They keep the chooks warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They do take a while to put together but this again is testament to their sturdiness. Omlet is my go to for all my chook related purchases.
