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

Weve been using our coop for about 3 weeks... And we love it! It's so easy to move and cleaning is a breeze! The auto door has been amazing so we feel confident our girls are secure if we don't make it home in time. The light helped guide them, and it only took 2 days for them to put themselves to bed. I'm so happy with our purchase.

I moved my 8 6-week-old chicks in 2 weeks ago. They took to it right away. The coop is well thought out though I'm pushing the capacity. Assembly was a bigger challenge than it should have been. Omlet has apparently small design changes over time and the video instructions are somewhat out of date. The written instructions were not easy to follow.

We've only had the coop and run for a week, so time will tell on how well everything holds up. Building the coop took about 4 hours with myself and my husband working together. It took a couple days for the chickens to learn how to use the coop, but they love it now. I love how easy it is to close the coop at night. There are so many well thought out features on this coop and run. We had our first rainstorm last night since having the coop and everything inside was nice and dry this morning (including the chickens). My only complaint was the instructions. There were four different ones (one in almost every box) and all of them had a slightly different order of steps (the video was different, too). It was hard to know what comes next. The instructions also are not clear on when to add the plastic clips, the picture just changes ever so slightly, so you have to pay super close attention to the picture - like a "find the difference" puzzle. Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase and look forward to many happy years with our chickens!

I bought this last week and am delighted with it. I assembled it by my self so it took some time. I used a YouTube video which was great. I do think it is an expensive product but hope it will last a long time.

So happy with my first Cube that I didn’t hesitate to purchase a second Cube when I expanded my flock

This is my second coup, the first was wood and began to fall apart. It was a lengthy build, with a few mistakes, but otherwise easy to follow directions! I was impatient and tried to skip a step so don't do that. Once finished, it was sturdy and so easy to maintain! A good washing now and again and it will last a long time. The best part is that I have predators from land and air so the run is secure and keeps the flock safe. It was easy to move once the wheels were engaged! I'm beyond happy with this product! My chickens just moved outside so we are still using the chick feeders. Next up, teaching them the ladder!

Night 2, our coop was attacked by a bear. It got through our dog kennel and into the coop area. It pushed the coop over on its side. All the chickens were safe and sound inside the eglu when we found them in the morning. The bottom leg was bent, and the plastic is now scratched but it’s still usable. We purchased 2 coops. One has our 10, 8 week old chickens and the other will soon have our younger chickens in it. We were worried that the coop would be too crowded with the 10 but they all cuddle together and want to be in one. So far we are happy with the ease of use and how easy it is to clean!!

Seriously. This the most hands off coop ever. I moved my 8 week old chicks into it and just had to put them in the coop the first night. I bought the auto door that I programmed to close at 8 and after that first night, they put themselves to bed at 7:50. All i do is go out and check that they all made it in. Which so far…two weeks later, they all do. They actually poop in between the roosting tray at night, so cleaning the lower tray is as simple as dumping and putting fresh pine shavings in. Yes, it takes some tedious time to build…but in my experience, the longer it takes the better quality. If you are on the fence about buying this, DO IT! Seriously. I can’t say enough good things about this. It’s the perfect backyard coop or even on a farm with the ability to move it around so easily.

Chickens are so happy in their new home which offers great peace of mind with the automatic closing door. 5 * luxury for our 5* hens! Expensive, but a quality product which will be long lasting and easy to maintain. Only criticism is the feeder - much prefer the old style round ones and seconded by the girls!

Coop and run have been up for about a week with our 6 week old chicks in there for a few days now. Construction time was a little longer than Omlet's estimations with some hiccups I can chalk up to user error (I would suggest using an analog screwdriver and not a screw gun, as the screws can get stuck if not threaded into the unit properly. Learned that the hard way, but the coop is solid nonetheless). I definitely recommend getting the handles for the run, as moving it is a bit of a pain without them. Most of all, the chicks seem happy to be outside and are loving their new space. That's all I really care about.
