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

Overall a very easy to clean and maintain hen house, the fact that the hens have to roost on the slat floor means our 4 hens all end up piling into the nesting area though - very messy or requires eviction later on. If there was a way of having a raised perch this would possibly enhance roosting options I think. The couriers that are used for delivery are rubbish. Nothing ever arrives when it is scehduled (I have made two orders, cube and run extension). Dump them now!

I am really pleased with the cube - it gives my chooks plenty of roosting/laying room and is really easy to keep clean. I felt that the spaces between the rungs on the ladder were too big for my bantams and made an enclosed wooden one which hooks on. I like the original idea of it not reaching the floor as it deters mice etc. As weasels are a problem where I live I have covered the run in a smaller gauge green wire and secured with tie wraps and tent pegs. Whilst this was time consuming and cost about £40 I feel it was well worth the extra effort.

Having been really happy with my green eglu for nearly a year I felt it was about time to upgrade. Roy delivered my funky new cube and assembled it in time for my new arrivals. I have now expanded from 3 Omlet chickens (sadly Gladys passed away quite soon) to 8 mixed variety birds. Only thing I would say is that I really liked being able to completely take the eglu apart to clean - and am struugling with the best way to go about the same procedure with the cube - any suggestions would be gratefully received.

We can't fault the product its ease of use, and the design is excellent. The delivery was on time, the man who brought it was helpful & knowledgeable. The first egg arrived within an hour of the driver leaving. The after sales service has been good and supportive. When one of the hens appeared to be a bit off colour, an e-mail to 'Barbara' was quickly answered with helpful advice and reassurance. A telephone advice line would have complemented the information provided electronically, and allowed easier discussion of signs and symptoms.

The Cube is BRILL!! Sooo easy to clean - only takes 10 mins - if that! I lined the trays with newspaper, so it just needed lifting out, a quick spay and wipe over, more paper back in, and slot back in place. The plastic bars are also really easy to clean. It looks nice, and with two people it can be moved easily. Very sturdy and good quality - the girls love it, and started laying just 2 days after it arrived!!

Brilliant Idea Chickens seem very happy put themselves to bed of a night shut the door until the morning Great and have had no trouble with Foxes yet and our area is prone to them

Very well made: all the bits and fittings were convincingly strong and look like they will last! A bit hard to put together, but the husband took pity and finally lent a hand. My breeding pair are thrilled with their new and exclusive bijou res.

My third green eglu cube arrived five days ahead of expected delivery, courtesy of a very nice driver (who was delighted to accept half a dozen of our girls' eggs by way of a 'thank you'). Our cube went together without a hitch and now sits proudly alongside the other two and, once again, we're thrilled with it. The girls were a little confused initially, but are getting used to the idea of three choices of luxury accommodation with en suite beds to choose from at night! These are absolutely stunning designed chook homes and I would strongly recommend them to anyone wishing to keep domestic, garden chooks. They are so easy to keep clean and perfectly designed for bird and owner. I know that when my girls go to bed at night they are safe and comfy and, having heard and read about so many horror stories from other chicken owners about losing their ladies to the fox, weasel, dog and the constant battle against redmite infestation, lice and other nasties, I can honestly say that my girls are free of all the horrors that can come with wooden chicken houses. Thank you Omlet, once again.

First rate service and delivery. Seems the ideal product especially for us, novice chicken people. Big local fox population, they are going hungry due to the very secure run. We also bought the extension and glad we did, I like to see animals with plenty of space. They still prefer even more though and enjoy being out and about. The Chickens are great little characters and fun to have around, delivered Tues, started laying three days later, Good Friday, how apt.

Even better than I ever hoped. It is perfect for me and my chickens. Cleaning it is a pleasure for my dodgy back. Well done.
