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

This is perfect for my 4 chickens. It looks great and seems sturdy.

Packaging protected the contents well from the rigors of shipping and there was very little of the packing that could not be recycled. The fit of the pieces was excellent and the assembly instructions were well written. Product assembly process went smoothly and I found the fit up of the parts to have good tolerances. Used some common sense on the sequence of final torque and final result is a very sturdy coop in just about an hours time. I did not buy the run that is designed for this coop due to already having a fenced and secure area. Although they recommend 2 folks for assembly, I had no issues at all completing the build by myself. Bought this as a habitat for younger birds until they can be integrated into my bigger main coop / run area. The cost of the Eglu coop was the same as my first (much bigger one) that I build from lumber, But the quick set of the Eglu product offset the several full days of construction on the one I built "from Scratch". Although my young birds have not yet moved in, the Eglu coop looks like it will work great and has features and functions that are well thought out. I went with Eglu after buying and installing one of their Auto-doors on my big coop. I am very happy with both of the products I have purchased from Eglu.

My husband and I purchased the movable Eglu Cube with an extended run about two weeks ago. We watched the online videos, which were very clear and detailed and put the Eglu together with relative ease. We have had extremely windy weather and the Eglu hasn't wavered or suffered any damage - the pieces are very strong and durable and easy to open and close. I am not 5 foot tall and less than 130 pounds and can easily move the Eglu by myself. Our chickens happily peck around the run for hours before going inside when the light comes on. I would highly recommend this product to other chicken lovers!

Putting it together was easy using the YouTube video. The hens love it. I am in Texas, and it withstood a 300 pound feral pig attempted break in. Had to replace a few clips, and bend the wire back in place, but they were safe in the cube. Now it is securely in a pigproof fenced area, and will last for years to come. My pet sitter loves the convenience of the automatic door. Thanks for a lasting product.

I am very pleased with the quality of the Eglu, we lost 4 hens to a fox the day before we got their new home, but the remaining hens and Mr Cockerel, are now forever safe thanks to their new Eglu. They went straight into it like nosey chickens do and seem to like it very much.

I bought this product after a lot of thought as they’re not cheap. I love the product, easy to clean, chickens are secure and love it. However the instructions are not as I’d expect. The brochures are glossy and there’s so many of them! And of course there are the videos. It is too much information but with no cohesive set of rules about how to build. I think the instructions really let the product down. Eventually I watched videos and used one of the many instruction books I had. I think they are trying to cover too many bases and languages and as a result lost me. Anyway, I love the product and as you can say, hate the instructions. I have heard from company that they are reviewing and condensing instructions so that’s good news.

Once up, this eglu cube with 2m run is a sturdy piece of kit and our hens seem very happy in it BUT.. at nearly £1,000 we really feel some sections of it could have arrived already assembled or indeed, that Omlet should offer an assembly service. The assembly booklet is over 60 diagrams long! Our views are that it is; *a two person job. * one of you needs to be physically quite agile as to assemble certain parts you have to get into small places and (at least in our case!) repeatedly need to climb over a 70cm bar. * have experience of complicated flat pack assembly The hardest part is fixing the wire mesh to the bottom section of the stand (for us, the bit under the hutch and with wheels). Once all set up however, it is robust, easy to move and as said, our chooks like it. OBSERVATIONS: 1) be handy if the wire poles (or the hooks) that close the run mesh doors were in a different colour. I’m getting on in years and struggle to see what i am doing esp. at dusk. 2) a hatch/small door would be handy under the stand at the other end of the run so that we can reach in and get a chicken that won’t go to bed! 3) the pull out tray catch is very flimsy and i cant see it lasting the test of time but all good at the moment. In summary, a good product but not easy to assemble.

we needed to look after grandchildren 6 hens for a month!!! Instead of trying to refurbish the old hen house and run we decided to go eglu as one of our daughters already had the small one in Newcastle and loved it. First night in operation hens went straight up steps to bed, 2 eggs next day and have been very happy for a week now. No doubt when hens go home we will get a few more ourselves... Eggcelent product.

We’ve only had the cube in place for 4 days but I’m really pleased with how easy it is to clean out the droppings everyday, collect the eggs and move if needed. The auto door is much better than the design we had on our last coop. The one improvement I would suggest is providing different options for the steps/ladder. Our Brahma cannot manage the steps and we spent Sunday having to build a wooden ramp so she could get into the coop. Providing customers with different options would make it a more accessible design for chicken keepers with bigger breeds. Other than that, very happy and with the new ramp in place, they are all happy with the cube.

With forty acres to manage and five kids in tow, Boxwood House wanted something low-maintenance that could withstand the elements and protect our Pilgrim and Guinea Fowl from predators. With the rising cost of lumbar and our harsh winters, we really didn’t want to even attempt a DIY A-Frame, that would need constant annual repair and not be nearly as aesthetically pleasing. These igloos are sturdy and should last 5 years+. We also like that they can be rolled away in our barn during heavy snows. Our fields have rolling hills, so we recommend purchasing the handles for easier transport.
