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

I love my new Eglu, and won't regret the (huge) initial outlay as long as it proves to be as hardwearing as it promises to be. There were some issues with delivery that, to be fair to Eglu, were initially ParcelForce's fault, however it took rather a lot of nagging to get things sorted subsequent to this which was a shame. Even then I never received assembly instructions, however luckily there are mostly-up-to-date ones downloadable on the website. Once I had all the pieces and had assembled it the Eglu was a good size - I have 3 medium-large chickens and am grateful for the 1m run extension - the house allows plenty of room though. :) Having used wooden houses previously I am delghted with how simple the house is to clean... it makes the world of difference. I live in a residential area so ease of keeping clean (to minimise smell and risk of rats) was essential. I clean and disinfect weekly and it takes no more than 30minutes. The design is well thought-out and it is very easy to use in terms of opening/shutting coop and egg-collecting. Took the girls a few days to figure out the steps properly (it was very funny watching them slip and slide up/down them at first - poor chicks) but they now have it down. with no issues. :) The ony flaw is that whilst the wheels allow the coop to move very easily over hard floor, once on grass its far less smooth, especially if moving backwards (the cage bends if you push it so you have to pull while angling it simultaneously) - an extra pair of wheels would make life easier, or perhaps a stabilising bar horizontally around the run. Overall, although I still feel the price is steep, the Eglu is a quality purchase that mokes chicken-keeping a breeze. I love it and so do the chickens.

The quality of main body of Eglu is high, it is a well made heavy duty moulding which is easy to assemble. Only had one awkward part to assembly of main coop and that was folding and fixing the 'rubber cops' correctly. The run and extension is a different matter entirely. Easy assembly took two people, for one it was possible but awkward. The panel clips were hard to use in cold weather, in fact I gave up with them and purchased a pack of 100 2.5mm x 100mm cable ties and used those as they keep the wire assembly panel joins closer together. Overall;- Eglu initial reaction excellent and pleased with purchase Run and extension:- not impressed given cost.

after owning a traditional wooden coop I have found the Eglu to be fantastic! there is no "wood swelling" to contend with which means no struggling with swollen doors. it is so easy to clean and access. the build quality is great with really substantial components. my chickens are very happy with their new home as am I! I would never hesitate with an Eglu!

The girls soon settled in managing the ladder ok now. Cube dry and very warm

Only one of the products that is sold by Omlet they are just the best. Even the chickens love it easy to clean,move and collect the eggs and the chicken are so protected from the night creatures highly recommended. thank you Omlet .

We purchased our coup just before the 'rains' started and have loved it ever since. It's is so easy to move and clean out. I wasn't sure what the chickies would make of it but they seem to love it too. Wish I had bought it months ago, it would have saved all that time, effort and money repairing our wooden one! It took a while to put it together and we were missing a couple of bits but the Support Team were great and we received the necessary bits in no time at all. Would thoroughly recommend them.

We have nothing but praise for our new Eglu Cube which we have found to be even better than expected. It is just the right height to clean out and very easy to move around. Although it took me slightly longer than advertised to put together, I am confident that the metal run will keep any foxes out. The included feeder and water dispenser are very easy to replenish. Would highly recommend to anyone who is slightly concerned with the cost as we have found it to be much superior to the traditional wooden coup we were previously using.

We love this mobile, funky, practical, easy-to-use chicken coup. It's been fun seeing the "girls" (Isa Browns x4) settle into their new coup. We love the ease of getting the eggs (amazing how the girls know instinctively where to lay .... again,thanks to the intelligent design) and easy of getting rid of most of the droppings. The Glug and Grubb are a decent size and don't empty within the day, so is labour-easy. However, the girls soil the Glug when they dig to their hearts delight! ... not a design fault, just nature :) All round, 10/10 for the Eglu Cube.

Very impressive design which is both user friendly for chickens and humans alike, although the red-mites and rats which lived with our chickens in their previous wooden coop were given their marching orders and haven't been seen since. Even hardened country types and farmers will be impressed by the practicality of the design. We took delivery just in time for the winter and find it takes much less time look after our chickens in the mornings and evenings now.

Very pleased with our Cube - firstly because our hens seem to like it - they must feel sheltered and safe in their 'house' as that is where they go when there is nothing exciting happening down below. Secondly, as hoped, the design means that the hens' living area can be get clean with the minimum of effort. Though not tested yet, it gives the impression that the run should be secure from foxes (I am confident that the hens are secure if the they are shut in their house). The Cube has proved stable in the high winds that we have had recently. Omlet's support team were efficient and friendly in providing some parts that were missing in original delivery of our Cube, and in advising on a couple of points during its assembly.
