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

I recently assembled this cube which was a slow process for a first timer working alone, but I appreciate the degree of thought that went into the engineering and design. This is something you can appreciate when assembling. I will say the youtube video demonstrating assembly was helpful but skipped over details that, in the manual, proved important. All in all, a learning experience.The 12ft run is great and I can't imagine doing it smaller (call me a softie).

Excellent, safe sleep and laying areas. Secure and comfortable

I was undecided if I wanted chickens until I seen the omlet and seen how easy it is to clean and now that I have it it's easier to clean than I thought 10-15 minutes top and you're done

... and I responded. The cube was meant to be in my backyard and it's home to my six chicks. Three four-month-old Swedish Flower Hens, two girls and a boy, and three nearly two-month-olds, a couple of eggs from Pakistan that hatched and one hybrid from my backyard chicken. They adore their home, and fly out every day to free range and recognise the security of their Eglu Cube to run into given any sign of threat! The cube took over couple hours to install and run with it's meter extension was not complicated either. I don't know if I have put it exactly how it's meant to be, it's strong, secure and looks ever so gorgeous! Additionally, I bought a shade and rain cover too, much needed in this wet summer we have had thus far. I'd be more than happy for folks to come visit and see the coop, if it helps to understand how it functions together. I only hope that at some stage, the design evolves and incorporates a material coating, like silicone on the hard plastic roosting tray, as it would be equally washable but provide a better grip for the hens.

First time chicken owner and this coop could not be EASIER! We love our omlet coop! Super easy to use and clean. Our chickens have been really enjoying it!

I’m really happy with my coop. It was simple, and straightforward to put together. My 7 ladies, and Arnie, obviously like it as they’re going to bed half an hour earlier than before! I highly recommend it! (I will add that my chickens are free range from 0600 till 2130)

This is a great set up. A year and a half ago I purchased the smaller "go up" model and though the 2 hens that use it are fine there, I wish I had gone all out and gotten the bigger one initially. I have added 3 babies and they are using the new big one. Both are in the same chicken "compound" and while there is some visitation out of curiosity, no one goes up into the others' hutch area. Thank goodness at this point. It was easy to put together and helped having had some experience.

It's such a relief! After two wooden coops that allowed red mites to multiply in all sorts of cracks/joints despite all efforts to stop them, this coop is brilliant. It's super easy to clean, mites have essentially got nowhere to hide, it's well built, sturdy as anything... It was a stretch because of the price, but I'm so glad we went for it.

We have been using our Eglu cube for a little over a week and it is perfect for our little flock. I chose this primarily because of the Winter months ahead, I will provide an update once we have snow fall. It is also simple to clean, which is a great benefit, so far everything smells great.

We love this coop - equipped with the 9’ run and the auto door and light, the large rain cover and the insulating winter jacket. We’ve used it for two years through blizzards and heat waves. We added an interior magnet temperature gauge to monitor it through seasonal extremes. We park it with the ‘deep litter method’ under shade or tarp cover on the hottest sunny days and in the snowy season. I would recommend shortening the ladder one rung for ease of movement and covering the water from getting litter kicked up in it. We add rubber pans of sand mixed with DE for dust bathing and we binder clip heavy translucent plastic over the whole coop & run under shade tarp to insulate the run in severe cold winds. We zip tie and binderclip a kitty litter scoop and a plastic recycled lettuce container to the back cage of the coop to use cleaning the tray. It’s a great system. We are surrounded by predators: coyotes hawks eagles bobcats fox weasels and bear. No worries because of this coop security!
