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

Im delighted with this. The gentleman who delivered it put it up for us and gave us information about Chicken keeping, and showed me how to clip the girls wing. Its nice and easy to keep clean, and my girls are very happy to go to bed each night. They use the ladder to sit on and get a higher view of the garden during the day. My Chickens(pullets) are beautiful, they all have different characters, (I have two Gingernut Rangers and two Miss Pepperpots) Its great looking out the kitchen window and watching their antics. Cant wait for my first eggs. Thankyou best wishes Sue

Whilst it looks funky and is definitely easy to clean there are a few things that could be changed. There is no perch for the birds. We have made one outside, would like to have one inside but cannot see anywhere to fit it. The ladder we feel is insufficient. The hens were slipping all over and falling off. We have made a ramp to the floor with slates for easy access. The silver sliding locks on the roof to close and open are not easy to grab. We have attached string to make this easier and prevent fingers from being caught in the grooves.

I would love to see a viewing panel (with a slide over cover) so you could check the girls are all ok when inside. My big moan is the tiny access gate to the run which is fiddly to open when your hands are full - and it is a challenge when you are not a supermodel athelete to get inside to do any kind of run housekeeping or looking after their welfare

All in all a fab product, easy for me to move and clean by myself and despite being large doesn't look out of place like my wooden hutches did! Now I may have to upgrade my cockerel's house to an eglu to stop him staring accusingly at the girls' mansion :D

I was amazingly skeptical about getting this chicken house due to the price. It arrived in several loads of large cardboard boxes and took me around 1.5hours to assemble, at which point I was thinking, "What have I done?". My fears where completely unjustified. The chickens love it, the feeder is fantastic, the Large hang on Glug works really well. Best of all, once a fortnight I just power-wash the whole thing clean as new, little effort and no damn mites. These are a revelation and I am a total convert. If I had one criticism, it's that it should come with more wind protection as standard, but I bought a large sheet of 4mm marine plywood and made some wind protection panels to go around the outside, they work well but don't look all that great.

Very pleased with our green cube. Our four chooks took to it immediately. It is so easy to clean, mite free, well-ventilated, robust of construction, easy to move single-handed. The shade keeps the grass beneath dry, the feeder keeps the food dry. Only one has been seen to drink from the glug but they do have access all day also to a grassed area around the cube with a water supply there too. The cube seemed expensive at first but in the long term should prove trouble free and long-lasting so good value for money.

Completely satisfied with The Cube, so far. Richard was very efficient and erected the Cube & Run very quickly and explained how to dismantle for cleaning etc. AMAZED at how easy it is to manoeuvre around the garden, even with the 2m run attached. I mean really amazed. I can do it on my own. It has rained heavily and the chickens remain dry and cozy. They love it. I had to put 5 out of 6 of them in on the first night and that was it, even after I had moved it. Would recommend.

The design of the cube is well thought out - easy to clean and manage, and the chickens seem very settled after a couple of weeks. We bought a 1m extension to the run - adding that on was quite easy, though you need to be careful that you get the mesh properly aligned otherwise you spend a lot of time unclipping and reclipping it onto the main run. We also bought some ground stakes as we keep the cube in a little copse at the end of the garden and the ground is rather uneven. If I have one criticism, it is that moving the cube with the extension run is somewhat unwieldy. The ground clearance with the wheels lowered is not that high, and there aren't many places to get a hold of the cube - so over uneven ground particularly, it is definitely a two-person job to move the whole shooting match. Otherwise, it's a great bit of design.

I am generally happy with the cube but have a few minor gripes: The base unit have very many marks especially around the bolt holes indicating it may be been put up before - perhaps it was a returned item. One of the wheel legs came with a bad scratch - through the paint to the metal. The suggested installation time (2 hours) is ambitious for the first timer - it took me quite a lot longer.

Fantastic and my 4 chickens love it too. so easy to keep clean. Wish i had bought one sooner. service from omlet brilliant and thankfully the delivery man put it together for me. Would advise you buy the winter shade to give some protection from rain and wind.
