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

Very pleased to report that our four birds are now clear of red mite after leaving their wooden coop for the Cube; took a couple of cleans under the roosting bars to eradicate the ones the birds must have brought in with them, but we are so pleased as none of the treatments we had tried worked effectively. We had to prop their old wooden ramp over the Cube's ladder to begin with; they are used to jumping up now, but being smaller breeds the gaps in between the rungs and the diameter of the rungs themselves are quite large - it would help if there was a better surface for them to grip on to as they hop up. Ours prefer to all cram into the nesting box to sleep together than standing on the roosting bars! We're in agreement with a previous review that some kind of handles to assist moving the Cube would be a good idea, as the wire run is difficult to pull from. Overall, brilliant but priced out of many people's pockets and we wouldn't say it could house ten birds comfortably; six to eight maximum depending on breed size.

We were initially considering buying one of the smaller Eglus but then decided to make the 80 mile visit to Barn Farm Plants garden centre to have a look at them all. I am so glad that we did because we realised immediately that that neither the Go or Classic would have been suitable for our needs. Although the Cube is considerably more expensive, it is well worth the extra. It is so accessible and easy to clean being off the ground which, as we are no 'spring chickens' ourselves, means we don't have to bend. We have four chickens and they seem very happy altough I am not sure that it is really suitable for 10 birds. We have a 3 metre run, which comes to the top of the cube and is more easily accessible than the run of the small Eglus would be, although It is quite awkward for me, with my arthritis, to get into the run to clean, especially to the back. A further gate in the side of the run might be useful. It is reasonably easy to move around but, for most of the time, we have decided to keep it in one position, because we have attached netting to the end near the gate of the run and have it all securely pegged down. I Have no doubt that we would have been sorry if we had bought a Go or a Classic rather than the Cube.

Great product, easy to maneuver and clean. I used to keep our chickens in a wooden shed, however red mite proved a bit of a predicament, thankfully our eglu Cube has eradicated the problem. Our 4 chickens our enjoying their new haven complete with extension. I think 6 large chickens would be rather over crowded unless they have free range of the garden as ours do.

Good item and fast delivery. A bit tricky to set up- took 3 hours but easy to clean. Expensive but hopefully worth it.

Absolutely LOVE my new cube! Easy to put together! Looks FAB! We have 4 chickens who love their new home and have settled very well. We now have 4 eggs a day! So so easy to clean! Can you design a Cube for children please??? As i wish cleaning up after my children was as easy as it is to clean the cube! Would recommend to everyone who is thinking of keeping chickens!

The cube was expensive, but for ease of cleaning, safety and knowing little creatures such as mite dont like to live in places like this in the way they so with wood gives us peace of mind for the chickens health. A good strong structure which will go on for ever.

The eglu is so easy to clean and keep spick and span. Its very easy to move round the garden too, I love it, and so do my girls!

Was very easy to put together and sturdy. Easy to move around the garden. We live in Channel Islands and did have it shipped in via Huelin Renouf which was reasonable and very efficient.

Love the cube so do the chickens. As a first time chicken owner the cube is so easy to clean them out etc . I can move the cube and run about so easily about its great.

have had it in use a fortnight now and am delighted with it. It is so easy to dismantle to clean it. My three chickens, Higgledy, Piggledy and Speckledy, soon seemed comfortable with their new surroundings and, apart from one day with only two eggs, we have had three eggs every day since the day we installed them. They had difficulty with the ladder at first as it was obviously not in their experience and their antics trying to get up and down gave us much amusement. My one queery over the water tank was answered efficiently and immediately. I am very satisfied with my Eglu Cube and thank you.
