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

I absolutely love this coop. It is so cool looking in my back yard. I got an extra extension, but now I wish I had purchased the large walk-in, because I cannot get into this thing to get the chicks. I have to fish them out with a net. Also, even with nine feet, it seems like a fairly small area. The waterer & feeder that came with the coop did not work for me. I purchased hanging versions & used the ones that came with the coop for flowers on the run. :-) Also, the ladder would not work for my Silkie, so I purchased a 42" dog ramp covered with astro turf and it works perfectly. Shipping was very slow. Still waiting on another automatic door that I purchased for a friend.

We haven’t used it yet with chickens but it was easy to put together with very clear instructions. Looks good and we look forward to the obvious ease of cleaning in the future.

These handles are very useful, and make moving the house and run easy, could not do with out these. We move the house and run every night when they are in bed , and when they wake up the next day they have fresh grass, very exciting for them.

All of the features sounded good on the website but it is actually awkward and not nearly as good as I expected. It was difficult to assemble and reaching the food and water containers is almost impossible. In retrospect, I think having a coop built would have been closer to what I had in mind.

Easy to put up and clean

We decided to spend more money on buying an Eglu, we have a classic that must be 15 (ish) years old and has lasted very well and is easy to put together. This wasn’t the case for the Cube! It took 2hours+ to make and the caging is held together with zip wires, something I wouldn’t have expected when you pay £700 for a product. I just hope it lasts as long as the classic one has.

I bought this in May 2021, and have currently 4 young hens installed together with a free range fence around. I love it and it is something that really compliments my garden :) 3 out of 4 of the chickens (10-16 weeks old) manage the stairs without any issues. Love it!

We like the coop, easy to set up, clean and use. The chickens are very safe in this coop and seem to take to it easily. Great purchase on our part.

I purchased the Eglu Cube after researching the internet for a coop that would take up minimal space and provide all the safety feature chickens would need and be hassle free. This coop does not fail and checks all the boxes in my chicken coop wish list. My three favorite features are the wheels which allow the coop to be relocated in less than a minute with minimal effort, efficiency with cleaning the poop board and the automatic door opener. Areas for improvement: Smaller Fence Opening: I installed hardwire clothe to the fence by using zip ties. This was added because the original fence spacing can still be accessed by small rodents. Instruction Manual: I'm a photo reader/instruction follower however some wording, especially for key information would have helped me during the construction phase. Having access to the YouTube videos was a nice touch though Screws/Hex Nut: One screw was not properly drilled into a hex nut. When attempting to unscrew, the hex nut started turning resulting in screw sticking out and no way to unscrew the misaligned screw. I've used a drill and even plyers to unscrew it without success.

Took quite a while for me to put it together but once done, I was very pleased.
