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

Easier to clean and maintain than my Rabbit Hutch. Even in these exceptional temperatures my chickens are fine and one has started to lay!

very happy with the eglu cube i have 3 hens who have settled in very well, The cube was delivered with a part missing i contacted omlet and the part was delivered the next day excellent customer service

This is a really great buy. At first I thought it was a bit pricey, but you really do get what you pay for - a well designed, easy to clean, spacious coop and run.

Delivery on time. All pieces arrived safely. It took 2 of us 3 hours to assemble it. The sliding roof is the trickiest bit but just needs patience. The hens are happy and carried on laying. It is easy to clean out. I jet wash in summer but in winter our ground is damp enough without adding more water. I don't like the slit in the bottom of the nestbox though as sawdust falls through, I put newspaper in to keep the sawdust in place. I am 5ft 3 and I can get in and out of the run OK. I do bump my head sometimes when I forget about the lowish wire roof. A bigger doorway would be nicer. I went for this instead of a WIR as I wanted the manouverability - which is good. I didn't want to lay slabs either. So all in all very pleased.

My Green Eglu cube was expertly assembled on its prepared area by a charming engineer and it was clear to see how robust and ingeniously it was constructed. My 5 pretty assortment of 'chooks', (purchased separately) are happily esconsed, feeding well and looking healthy. The cube is easy to clean out and stills smells sweet after one month and, although we have had regular visits from Mrs Fox, she has not even attempted to enter the impregnable Fort Cube! As a novice chicken keeper I found the instructions and advice from Omlet very helpful. I am now patiently awaiting eggs!

Very pleased with this product and so are my hens! They took to it straight away, although the ladder took some getting used to, and getting in to the Eglu itself. It was easy to construct (all by myself) and the instructions straight forward. Great to clean and no annoying mites to be seen! Not sure about the gaps where the dropping trays slot in, bit too draughty maybe. Overall a good investment for my hens.

Really pleased with the Eglu Cube, having used a more traditional wooden house & runs beforehand. There is more room for the chickens, as the ladder is above the ground and they got used to jumping up quite quickly. The door lever is very useful. The best benefit is ease of cleaning, in my opinion. Not entirely conviced that all elements of our purchase were brand new though as the door hooks and the part of the run caging had some rusting on delivery. Overall, very pleased and glad that the chickens are off the ground. Using ours for 4 hybrids and wouldn't want to use it for any more unless we bought the extension run.

A very sturdy construction but then it should be for the price. 2 points though.- We have replaced the ladder with a plank of wood. In the mornings they would come out and slip on the slope outside the door, put a leg through the gap between the house and the first rung and then have to fly down. The ladder should have an extra rung at the top. It would have been nice to have sliding vents in two of the sides so you could control the ventilation between Summer and a howling blizzard. Apart from that , we are very pleased. Mike and Karen Snow

very well designed, easy to use and clean, a mansion for chicks

Absolutely excellent in every way. I would never have a wooden hen house again. My 3 hens were at home from day one and started laying immediately. They free range the veg garden in the day and as soon as dusk falls they make their way to the Cube, climb the ladder and go to bed. I just shut the door until the morning. Amazingly easy to clean , beautifully engineered features for ease and hygiene. I was initially concerned as to how it would look in our veg garden which adjoins our 15th century home but it adds a certain quirkiness which is very pleasing. Full marks all round...thankyou.parivall
