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

This is the third Eglu Cube I have purchased. I have 2 roosters with crossbeak and they have one each since they continue to fight each other. Would highly recommend.

We bought our Eglu Cube in June of this year. We got it within 3 weeks which was a little quicker than we were expecting it. It was a big task to put together with 2 people; we did it in the evenings, it probably took 5-6 hours total to get the coop and 9 ft run put together. Once we got it up we love it. Our chicks were about 8 weeks old when they moved in and they got used to it quickly. It was a really hot summer and they did great. We did put a few big frozen water bottles in there to keep them cool overnight. We put hardware cloth around the run to keep out the raccoons, and put toddler doorknob covers on the rear and egg door knobs also. We had a raccoon break into our last coop so we're extra cautious. We ended up attaching our 9 foot Omlet run to an 8x8 producer's pride universal poultry pen only because the Omlet walk-in run was not in stock, but it worked out great. Our winters get cold in Upstate NY but we're planning to buy the blanket or jacket from Omlet and the windbreak also. In the dropping tray we've been using Sweet PDZ and First Saturday Lime, and I've been adding pine shavings since it's been getting cooler at night. It's so easy to keep clean compared to a wooden coop. We also hope to add the auto door at some point. I'm attaching a photo of our chicks when they first moved into the Omlet before we got the walk-in run.

I brought the coop 2 week ago and straight out of the box you could tell this was a quality product. The build was easy and went together a dream. Now it looks ace in situate and is homing our 3 chooks. Love it!

I am a first time chicken keeper and I wanted something that would last, would allow me to move my chickens around, and was easy to clean. After hours and hours of research (my YouTube is filled with chicken coop reviews!) I settled on the Eglu Omlet. I am so glad that I did. This thing has proven to be everything the reviews said it would be… extremely difficult to put together for sure, but worth the initial hassle. I have 6 chickens (sapphire gems and buff orpingtons) and I initially purchased the 6 ft run extension. I used that for about 4 months before purchasing another 3ft run extension. I decided to purchase the run extension mostly as winter is coming (we live in the Midwest) and I want to provide them more room when the coop is being moved less. With a total of 12ft (and no run handles) my 2 year old daughter pushes the coop and I pull on the run and we have no problem moving it around the yard. It is difficult if I don’t have a pusher as even my little 2 year old makes a big difference in the mobility. We only allow supervised free ranging due to a pair of nesting bald eagles who would love a chicken dinner so the coop is moved almost daily to allow them access to fresh grass and dirt. I have 2 perches in there that they love and they were worth the money. I purchased the automatic door initially and am so glad I did. That is 100% worth the cost (and I would not want to add it on later given the hassle of building the thing). I also purchased the coop light, though honestly I think it just confuses them and so I have not had it on recently. Could have done without the light as my chickens are in bed 20 minutes before dusk. This coop is super easy to clean! My 2 snd 5 year olds loves to scrub at it with the soap and dish brush. It doesn’t take long and all components look like new. Very easy to empty the bedding every couple of days. If the makers are taking recommendations I would love to see a small storage compartment to hold treats. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality, predator proofing, cleaning abilities, accommodations, and mobility of this coop. I love it!

I purchased 4 coops for 11 birds and they sort themselves out at night ( as they have their chicken friends and they nest/stick together ). we live in Upstate NY ( Hudson area close to the Massachusetts and Connecticut borders ). Our winters while not always brutal are often in the single digits and certainly in the teens. PLEASE put straw or bedding down. I noticed immediate happiness for the girls instead of the cold plastic which is slipper and my hens dont like at all ( in the summer I keep a thin layer of shredded small pet paper bedding in there ) . ALSO A CAUTIONARY TALE!!!! Check your open EGLU’S for predators before the ladies go to bed at night. We had a stealth Raccoon find his way into one during the day and patiently wait. He new the routine! It could have been a devastating feeding frenzy…with the girls unable to escape! Fortunately I’m always home and fairly crazy about my hen’s happiness, so I make a habit of checking the coops - especially before bed! Don't think for a minute that predators are only nighttime feeders. An easy meal.. is an easy meal, and it’s a horrible death for a beloved hen. We have a 900sq ft predator proof run and I also free range them when I’m home during the day. The raccoon simply walked through the open gate.

While the cube has some great features, the directions are very challenging. Overall I really like the cube and it seems to work very well for the chickens.

We had someone else put it together! We had a couple of chickens in it the next day. This is perfect for keeping chickens in a clean environment!

Satisfied. My daughter and I are new chicken owners (Spring 2022). We have 6 hens. They moved in our new Eglu cube / walk-in run combo ~3 months ago and, from what we can tell, they love it. And so do we! Easy. We do regular changes of the dropping trays (2-3 days) and deep cleanings ~once a month. Eglu's material and design make it easy. Confidence. Both the coop and the run are predator-proof. The combined use of both makes us feel very confident that our chickens are safe. We have hawks, coyotes and raccoons, all of which are known to prey on chickens in our area. I even saw a red fox spying on them one morning but he could only give them a scare, not eat them. Aesthetic. Well, it all looks pretty cute. A nice addition to our backyard. Pic enclosed. Service. One of the run panel was damaged during shipping. Omlet sent a new one. Reliable.

I'm very pleased with the clever design and thoughtful accessories that make using and cleaning this coop so easy.

We have assembled the Eglu Cube and it is almost ready to welcome our girls. Since the auto door is on back order we will not attach the top until it is installed. It was so much fun working on this project together. Great quality and very sturdy, I like being able to make it to our specific needs. It can be moved but will probably remain in place for at least a year. We have coyotes, raccoons, dogs, cats, snakes, barn owls and several hawks in our area. Probably some water dwellers too since we are near a water source, so it was important to us to add 1/2 hardware cloth up the sides of the 13' run. We placed the run next to an old unused dog lot and added aviary netting. We think we did okay for our needs in the city.
