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

We have had our cube for a year now, and it has been a brilliant home for our six ex-bats - and Omlet kindly gave the Battery Hen Welfare Trust a donation when we got our girls. The best points about it in our opinion is that you can move it, which saves the lawn from getting completely destroyed; it's high off the ground so the hens can shelter underneath when it rains and no room for any other unwelcome visitors with long tails to hide; it is so easy to clean - no hiding places for red-mite. Fab product!

What a great service ! What a Quality Product ! It was delivered and installed for us with no fuss or bother, and, the chickens luv it. In fact the design incorperates every aspect for happy chicken keeping (thats us and them) you can think of.

I love the cube, it is well made and thought out. Does seem very expensive but worth the extra over a wooden coop I think. Really easy to clean, should last forever. Can't think of anything I would like to see changed, the girls all love it and always put themselves to bed every night. Well pleased.

Fairly easy to assemble, although needs two people initially. Lots of cardboard to get rid of after. Hens sussed the ladder very quickly, however they have still not sussed the drip water container. Fantastic to clean compared to eglu. Overall we are very very pleased with the cube. The only change I would make would be that the door operated like the Eglu, allowing the hens to let them selves out.

This is a brilliant chicken house. The cube is easy to keep clean, easily comes apart to reach into the awkward areas. Easy to move around the garden even with the 1m extension on the run. Backing onto woods we were very worried about foxes but the girls are happy overnight in the cube and they haven't been bothered by foxes in the day. Would recommend this to anyone thinking about keeping chickens.

I have found the cube easy to clean. As I have postioned it permanently on a concrete base, it is not so easy to rake over the wood chippings and am considering changing to gravel, which was suggested by the chap who delivered the chickens as this can be hosed down. This seems a good solution as, whilst we are at home, the chickens roam free so will have the best of both worlds.

Brilliant product, exceptionally easy to clean with the added benefit of no red mites. This product is far superior than all the traditional arks/houses I have researched and I am so glad I chose this to house my precious hens. They manage the ladder and roost perfectly on the plastic perches although I know friends who have bantams have a little problem negotiating the ladder. My only reservation is the Super Glugs, bought an extra one only to find my hens do not get enough water and will have to source an alternative product. At the moment having to resort to an ice-cream container to stop them dying of thirst! Delivery driver was a bit of a scrooge not wanting to hand over the "included" items but luckily we knew to what we were entitled and managed to get him to give these to us after prompting. Buy an Eglu Cube, you will never regret it!!!

Finally got round to giving my opinion on the cube and extended run which I have now had for four weeks. I would fully recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing having myself looked at all the other options before taking the plunge. Delivery on time. Easy to assemble and to date no leaks. Living in Cumbria where it rains all the time if there was going to be any it would have happened by now. It has been well worth the initial outlay as it is very easy to clean and maintain. The chickens have now become part of the family and my two terriers seem to have accepted the new editions.

I ordered my Eglu cube and was given an earliest delivery date of nearly 3 weeks time - given that I had chosen the normal green I found this a tad disappointing. I was especially irritated when, having arranged my day off work to receive the cube, Omlets couriers actually delivered it the day before. I enjoyed constructing my cube but did have to play about with it to get the gaps even around the body. To date have had no issues with leaks, however my girls really don't like the ladder and the claim that the cube is easily maneuvered is not correct unless there is a second person involved. On the whole though I think the product is very funky, if a trifle expensive, and would recommend it to others who want to have an aesthetic chicken coup in their garden.

We bought the cube at the Ideal Home show. I was attracted to it by the simplicity, good looks, and the ease of keeping clean. We were contacted as promised by phone, and the order arrived by post, at the allotted time. All the pieces were there, and it was very simple to put together, with easy to follow. The cube is now assembled in our garden, and looks great. Now all we need is the chickens to put in it! We are really pleased and would thoroughly recommend the omlet cube.
