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

Weighing far less than I thought it would, I have found that moving the Cube around the garden is easy. The ladder though daunting on the first night is now accepted by all the birds and they pop in and out without problems.

On the whole, from first appearances a good and product. Ordered for van delivery but was not informed that this woudl be 7 weeks until I rang for feedback. Changed to courier delivery and got product within 5 days. Went together well although instructions could be made a little clearer. Dissappointingly not all parts were in the delivery and 2 end skirts had to be re ordered. Having said that, the order was processed without query or delay and the parts are due in 2 days. Next step - chickens !

Fantastic product! I easily put it together single handedly and five new additions are very happy in their new home. Grub and glug great too, stops food and water getting in the way of their digging!

Chickens love it, we love it so easy to clean out very good. The chicks had a little trouble reaching the first rung of the ladder but after a conversation with Omlet who suggested putting a few bricks at the bottom to help them up they now have it mastered. Very happy and the girls are already laying eggs couldn't be more pleased.

The cube took us approx. 2 hours to set up. The instructions were good. Our four chickens have now been installed for approx 1 week and seem very much at home. Unfortunately, our dog is finding the birds absolutely fascinating but, in spite of his constant attentions, the chickens evidently feel safe and secure in their extended run and have not been upset by him at all. One small detail, my husband and I feel some sort of handle at the back of the hen house would make the whole thing just that bit easier to manoeuvre.

My only concern is that it does not fit snugley together so there are a few gaps which let the water in. I also feel that there is too much ventilation which allows the wind to roar through so I duck tape the main one up when the temperature is very cold and windy. Otherwise it is very easy to keep clean and so is not at all smelly.

It was delivered and put together last week, by a very nice, informative man. The literature sent with it is also good and very informative. We have ordered rare breed pullets from a local supplier and expect them in about 8 weeks time. Our only suggestion for improvement in design: two handles at the opposite end to the wheels, could make it even easier to move. The handles could be just above the litter trays, then the cube could be moved like a wheelbarrow.

I have had my cube for two weeks now and my chickens for a week. The girls love their home and so do I! Easy to clean out and I havent had any difficulty moving it - which I do every couple of days. It only took us two hours to build and that was in the dark - it does really need two of you to do it though. I have put an extra perch in the run by the ladder which has helped the girls get used to it but they arent having a problem and have put themselves to bed since the second night that I had them. Great product, I know it is expensive but I am sure that it will be worth the extra expense and my friends with wooden coops who said they hated eglus are very jealous now that they have seen one in the flesh!

My Eglu Cube has arrived! The Omlet man arrived early on Friday morning. He was very smartly dressed and cheerful. He presented me with my paperwork and free egg boxes and after a cup of tea and a chat he went to work on my Eglu. He was very professional and effiicient and was finished within the hour. After that he talked me through how it all worked, shook hands and was on his way. The Eglu looks great. I am now waiting to hear when I can collect 6 Ex Battery hens who I know will love their new home!

Delighted with my purchase of the cube. Really impressed with the build quality. An excellent product. My three girls have taken to it straight away.
