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

The enclosed run provides great peace of mind for the safety of my chicks. I've also used the run for other young animals as they are introduced to the farm while the chicks are roosting inside the coop. I love that the whole thing is light enough for me to move around myself. The handles are on back-order right now, but will make moving it even easier when they arrive. I'm very happy with my Eglu Coop!

This is a great little run except for two features that might get your chickens killed: 1) The mesh is large enough that a raccoon can get their hands inside and grab a chicken. 2) the knobs to open the nesting box and main coop area can be manipulated by a racoon. The main issue is that this is a coop built in the UK (I think) which is a place that does not have racoons. I STRONGLY sugest that Eglu make a US model with a 1/2" mesh size and knobs that can be secured. I ended up covering the whole thing in machine cloth (1/2") and riveting hasps to both the main coop opening and the nesting box opening. If you are not willing to do these extra steps, than take a pass on this coop.

We love this coop mainly because it's so easy to keep clean! I couldn't give it 5 stars because the door to the run is off and doesn't quite line up right, making it not so simple to open and close. The double brackets show strain because the alignment is off, I just hope they don't break.

I have 8 weeks chicks living in it for about 4 weeks now. The Cube is easy to clean and has good access. I bought a stand up area from Tractor supply and it was easy to connect. I bought the automatic door that further makes the maintenance easy. Build was fairly easy. I very much recommend this product! Possible improvements: Pull out nesting area for cleaning Improved plastic closures to join the cages Clearer instructions on when to use short and long screws

This coop is perfect. Easy to clean, great size, height is convenient, super easy to assemble, regulates temperature well… I cannot say anything negative about it. It takes me about 15 minutes once a week to clean, and is very easy to clean up and did I mention how easy it is to clean?

Moving the coop has been troubling. The directions are different from the main catalog compared to the individual ones that come with each section. I have had to use extra zip ties in certain areas to keep the run closed and connected. I'm still waiting for my other orders that have been placed

I bought this as a complete chicken-keeping novice for my three bantams and it has been perfect - easy to clean, safe for the hens and the run is very secure…handy that I had the feeders and sun shade too, and it all gave me peace of mind as I settled in to everything.

I upgraded from a wooden coop having previously purchased the Omlet automatic door to make life easier. My girls took to the Cube immediately and it's been a really pleasing purchase. Easy to assemble and easy to clean, I'm glad I took the plunge and spent the money. It's quality.

The size is just right for 6 chickens and very easy to move around the lawn.

Managed to build this single- handedly. Once built, this is a great house, very solid and the chooks settled in straight away. I didn’t purchase the wheels as I wanted it to have a permanent position in the garden and found it best built in situ: it is a big beastie to move without the wheels. Before you start, you need to work out what way round you want your coop to face and measure out and level off an area that includes space for the wire skirt of the run, and space around this so you can get in and clip it all together. The cube sides are not interchangeable so you have to think about your access to the cube doors and run gates before you can position the eglu. I’m attaching mine to an extended run around the garden so there is more room to roam. Any build videos you can find online are useful. The feed and water dishes supplied were too deep for my wee bantams so I slung a pole through the run mesh and hung their old feeders from it, but the food gets wet so more faffing to do to get the set-up right. The pole through the mesh made a good perch and I added a tree branch perch in as well. A future upgrade for me and my tiny bantams might be to make another gate in the mesh to access the area under the coop and use that area for feeders as it is sheltered from the rain. There is a small plastic sheet cover supplied with the run which can provide shade but is too small to keep everything dry, and in any case, if it was any bigger you wouldn’t see your hens. The coop is easy to clean and the nesting box is easy to access. For me this was a major investment but I am glad that I did it as I am chuffed with the quality, the appearance and the ease of use of the Eglu Cube.
