Verified Reviews for Eglu Cube® - Large Chicken Coops and Runs
So hard to build, but Chickens are happy!
I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. In fact, If this was already assembled, I’d likely give it 4-5 stars. But…
Although I knew it would need assembly, I wasn’t prepared for how much time it would take to put together the coop and 9 foot run. I lost track, but it probably took 8-12 hours, with a quarter of the time needing two people involved.
Another downside is that it’s hard to move on muddy or uneven ground. There are no handle bars to lift the run, so you have to grab the wire to move the whole thing. It works to do this, but I worry about how long the plastic joints will last if I move it everyday (which was the point of purchasing this.) Not having a way to lift the run in order to move the whole thing, seems like a significant flaw to me.
Aside from those significant issues, the coop itself seems super sturdy and very functional. It will be much easier to clean than my previous coops and I think my hens will be warmer through winter with this design. Also, a plus for me is that it all looks beautiful when it’s put together, which is very pleasing to me. The rain/sun shade works well and held up against 2 days of big rains and 30-40 mile/hr winds this week.
Overall I’m glad I made the purchase, but I’d hesitate to recommend to someone else without making sure they knew the cons.
P.S. I’d highly recommend getting a perch to put in the run. Without the perch, the run felt a little flimsy, but the perch really helped make the design more solid.

Love the omlet cube
We’ve had the omlet cube for about a month now with no regrets what so ever! The things we love are-
1. The instructions were easy to follow.
2. It is so much easier to clean out compared to our cheaper bunnings one we previously had.
3. The cube is made from material that will not rot after 18 months.
4. The nesting box can be closed off during the night- this keeps it clean and free from poop. We no longer have to wash poop off our eggs when we collect them- they are beautifully clean:)
The only con is that it took nearly 2 months to receive this after ordering.

Really pleased with this product.
I bought the Eglu Go Up and large walk in run for my son and the large Eglu cube and 2 x 2 walk in run for myself. 28 boxes delivered !. My son got his set up in a couple of hours. I am 70 and I watched the instruction video and read the instructions. I set out everything on the grass as if I was about to perform an operation. I started on Sunday and finished on Thursday. The only problem I found was stepping into the cube to tighten up the screws. I am really pleased with my chicken house. It’s so easy to keep clean and my 4 ladies love it. The only thing I think would be handy is if there was a hinged section underneath the coup because on the first couple of nights the ladies went to sleep underneath the coup and I had to crawl on my stomach through the connecting tunnel to get them and put them to bed. A hinged section would also make it easier to clean underneath the coup.
I am really pleased with my purchase. I am a first time chicken owner and I am totally pleased with my ladies.

Better than expected!!
My husband and I got tired to trying to build our own coop out of materials that we had on hand and were a little hesitant about buying the Omlet due to it's price point. That's a lot of money for our chickens!! OMG. We absolutely love it and our chickens are so obviously happier now that they have this home. It was easy to assemble, the instructions were easy to follow and the total construction of it is so well thought out and wonderful. I'm surprised by how much I totally adore our Eglu and it's so worth it. No regrets on this purchase at all!

I love my coop!
Delivery was very quick. I looked at my stack of boxes and thought, "I'll never be able to put this together", but I started one page 1, organized all the parts, and put it together by myself! The instructions are excellent.
I have a bit of trouble moving it from place to place because my ground is very uneven, tall weeds, etc, BUT it is doable. Looking forward to my chickens doing weed abatement for me.

Chicken keeping made easy
Premium product.
Simple to put together (give yourself a couple of hours to do do so though). Easy to maintain and clean. Provides secure protection against those pesky predators. Thoroughly recommend.

The girls love their new home!
We needed a new hen house when government rules were introduced requiring all domesticated birds be kept under cover during Avian Flu upsurge and decided to get an Eagle Cube with 2m run to go into a fruit cage. The instructions were a little iffy and need to be read before starting work so you understand how they're set out (there are overviews before the actual detailed instructions and some parts differ slightly in the manual from those actually supplied). But it all came together in the end and both hens and myself love it.

Love it!!
I never give reviews, but in this case I am! I live our eglu cube and 13ft run. I'm 71 and I put most of it together myself. Easy to assemble... I loved the way it was packaged, with easy instructions.. I used a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of pliers when my fingers couldn't close clips. I plan to buy more omelet products!
