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

Fantastic product! I easily put it together single handedly and five new additions are very happy in their new home. Grub and glug great too, stops food and water getting in the way of their digging!

Chickens love it, we love it so easy to clean out very good. The chicks had a little trouble reaching the first rung of the ladder but after a conversation with Omlet who suggested putting a few bricks at the bottom to help them up they now have it mastered. Very happy and the girls are already laying eggs couldn't be more pleased.

The cube took us approx. 2 hours to set up. The instructions were good. Our four chickens have now been installed for approx 1 week and seem very much at home. Unfortunately, our dog is finding the birds absolutely fascinating but, in spite of his constant attentions, the chickens evidently feel safe and secure in their extended run and have not been upset by him at all. One small detail, my husband and I feel some sort of handle at the back of the hen house would make the whole thing just that bit easier to manoeuvre.

My only concern is that it does not fit snugley together so there are a few gaps which let the water in. I also feel that there is too much ventilation which allows the wind to roar through so I duck tape the main one up when the temperature is very cold and windy. Otherwise it is very easy to keep clean and so is not at all smelly.

It was delivered and put together last week, by a very nice, informative man. The literature sent with it is also good and very informative. We have ordered rare breed pullets from a local supplier and expect them in about 8 weeks time. Our only suggestion for improvement in design: two handles at the opposite end to the wheels, could make it even easier to move. The handles could be just above the litter trays, then the cube could be moved like a wheelbarrow.

I have had my cube for two weeks now and my chickens for a week. The girls love their home and so do I! Easy to clean out and I havent had any difficulty moving it - which I do every couple of days. It only took us two hours to build and that was in the dark - it does really need two of you to do it though. I have put an extra perch in the run by the ladder which has helped the girls get used to it but they arent having a problem and have put themselves to bed since the second night that I had them. Great product, I know it is expensive but I am sure that it will be worth the extra expense and my friends with wooden coops who said they hated eglus are very jealous now that they have seen one in the flesh!

My Eglu Cube has arrived! The Omlet man arrived early on Friday morning. He was very smartly dressed and cheerful. He presented me with my paperwork and free egg boxes and after a cup of tea and a chat he went to work on my Eglu. He was very professional and effiicient and was finished within the hour. After that he talked me through how it all worked, shook hands and was on his way. The Eglu looks great. I am now waiting to hear when I can collect 6 Ex Battery hens who I know will love their new home!

Delighted with my purchase of the cube. Really impressed with the build quality. An excellent product. My three girls have taken to it straight away.

The Eglu cube is a brilliant design. Its not until you start using it that you can appreciate the bits that make it a great home for chickens. The only negative comment was the assembly - it took 4 of us 2.5 hours and we got a liitle bit stressed when it came to getting the roof on - but we got there in the end. The chickens seem very happy, the black shetland laid a little egg the day after arriving. I would recomend the Cube - if you can afford it, I don't think there is anything better .

The cube is great. It was easy to erect and the replacement pieces arrived very quickly. Our only suggestion is that it would be easier to move if you were able to put some sort of handle at the back to enable easier movement. We are on a very slight slope and I find moving the cube really difficult. The ladder was a bit of a problem for the hens to start with, but they have now mastered it. Many thanks. Hazel
