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

After retiring in 2012, I decided to keep chickens as a new hobby and I found Omlet! Anything to do with chickens, Omlet are my “go to” company. I recently decided to increase my flock and bought my second Eglu Cube together with an automatic door. Despite reading the instructions, I found it hard to program the timer. One phone call to Omlet and the problem was solved. The Cube gives the chickens the protection they need and the safety they deserve. I highly recommend the Eglu Cube and Omlet’s customer service is second to none!

Our birds love it! As does our sweet old bulldog. Assembly was quick and easy. I highly recommend the top tarp for the run. I was going to save a few bucks and just use a normal tarp. I am glad I didn’t. This thing is way thicker than a normal tarp and doesn’t flap in the wind like a cheaper thinner tarp would. We live in south Texas and the coop and run stay relatively cool. Every one seems cozy with their arrangement.

Have owed an eglu classic and Go Up in the past but the cube trumps them by miles! Have kept chickens most of my life and yes there are cheaper options but as others have said when you factor in the build quality and therefore how long they last it's money well spent. The separate nesting area is a big improvement over the UP/ Go-UP and it's still a novelty collecting clean eggs so conveniently from the side door. We have used a few different type of automatic doors with various power sources in the past but I have to say so far the Omlet auto door is far superior, we have it permanently plugged into the mains (very easy to do with a plug board in an outdoor junction box as pictured) and found it incredibly simple to set up, adjust and add on the coop light. My only bit of (hopefully constructive) criticism is the instruction manuals need some work, possibly in the style of IKEA although I know this is a difficult balance.

Having decided to upgrade from a wooden coop to an Eglu cube I can honestly say that it is the best decision I made. Once I'd received my lovely stack of boxes containing the coop, 4M run, wheels & handles Mr fox had decided to pay a visit while chooks where still in their old wooden coop! This called for additional security and visits to the coop until I assembled the eglu and transferred the chooks across, these fix visits continued during daylight hours for the following week or so until I'd finally completed assembly doing a little each day after returning from work. The visits continued and still do but the chooks are much safer now in the eglu and no attempt has been made to dig at the security skirts. Now for the coop.... Amazingly easy to assemble and once chooks we're introduced they adapted quite well, first evening they were later than normal finding the courage to go up inside but once in they settled and accepted their new home. Everything about this design of coop is simple and very user friendly, I stayed with the manual door as I like to check they are all in and know that the door is securely closed, the ability to close off the nest box is a great design and is used each evening before they go in and opened again when let out next morning. I can see this helping with broody hens also and keeping the nest box cleaner. The roost area is a little larger than the old wooden coop and this winter it feels much warmer too in the mornings as I let them out. The feeders and watering trough are a great design for easy removal and cleaning and I purchased an additional feeder for grit. None of the contents have gotten wet from the heavy rain we've had. I also purchased covers, heavy duty wind breaks for under the coop, extra clips and extra screw down pegs. I was a little skeptical about the screw pegs in sifted soil but these work fantastically on pulling the anti dig skirt down to ground level and speedily removed and installed with the drill attachment not to forget about the wheels and handles, these make moving the coop an absolute breeze and the coop is currently being moved to fresh ground every 2 - 3 days now. Which is obviously creating happy chooks as egg laying has also increased this winter from one egg a day to two eggs and more recently a third egg! That's a good result from 5 chooks over winter I think. Now all I have to install is the roost bar I got for them which should add to that happiness. I could write more but I'll finish with highly recommending the eglu coop to anyone that is pondering over the additional costs against a wooden coop. Go for it, you will not regret it and you will also have access to all the additional add ons designed for the coop and runs.

After "falling in love" with my first Omlet, the Eglu Go Up, I decided it was time to replace my homemade wooden coops with Omlet products. This coop and run combo works perfectly for my bantam barnvelders. Like the other products, super easy to clean and extremely durable.

We have 7 chickens and one on the way. They have enough room in the Eglu Cube and their 12 ft covered run. It protects them from severe weather, wind, rain, and snow. Love it 🩷

We have had our Eglu Cube for a couple years and are extremely happy with it! My sister's wood coop has to have parts replaced every year, but our Cube is still like new; she wishes she had one! My wife's and my daughter cleans it about once a week in about 15 minutes, start to finish! The only part we replaced was the controller for the autodoor to upgrade to the smart controller.

The best chicken coop I have ever got I have never had any problems with mice rats foxes or any other predators I have 6hens 1 rooster and 1 middle size duck all living in it at one and they also love it.

I have been very happy with my Omlet and 12’ run. Setup was easy with the instructions and videos. I can move the 12’ by myself, small 108lb female. We have had at at least a fox and raccoons attempt entry, but no signs of them even being close to success. I did my research beforehand and this is why I bought Omlet. I want my ladies to be safe. I am so happy with my purchase.

I am a single mom and first time chicken parent and the Omlet experience has been top notch from the customer service (yall I had questions lol) to the product itself. My spoiled ladies are thrilled with the coop and tractor run. It is beyond easy to clean. Easy to move around. And it went through a tropical storm recently like a Champ!!
