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

I recently purchased the Eglu for 7 chickens and they absolutely love it! There is plenty of room for them and they are kept nice and warm. The door between the sleeping and nesting area is a great idea as this area is kept nice and clean for egg laying only. The Eglu is so easy to keep clean! It has cut cleaning time in half; it was always such a messy job with the previous wooden coup. I would highly recommend and have no reservations.

I purchased the Omlet Eglu cube, 13ft run, with the wheels. It took my husband and I about 3 hours to put together. We read all the directions and watched all the videos. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THE VIDEOS! They’re on YouTube. The coop has definitely held up, we have a lot of raccoons and foxes in our area. I have seen where they have attempted to get into the coop but have not been able to. I was concerned about the run being held together with plastic zip ties and plastic connectors but it’s definitely secure! The only changes I would make would be that the door was made a little bit bigger so adults can actually enter the coop. I’m 5’6” and I struggle to get through. I would also say the price is higher than what I expected it to be. if you’re reading this much into purchasing the coop, you know it’s up there in cost. It’s definitely an awesome coop but it’s pretty pricey. I also purchased the screws to secure the bottom down and in my opinion they should have been included with the coop or at least offered at a discounted rate with the purchase of the coop. Also, unless you are going to move your coop once a week or more often, I don’t recommend purchasing the wheels, you still have to have two people to move it. Over all it’s a good coop!

We had a timber hen house with the automatic door fitted but the timber was not up to the wear & tear of cleaning & it was drafty so decided we needed to upgrade there is no comparison for ease of cleaning, so warm & cosy! Delighted with our purchase!

I love this coop. I will never have to purchase another one. That's the wonderful thing. If you add up what you would spend on a cheap, wooden coop, over the years, it's a waste of money. This one is so convenient. I love it so much, I just bought another one. I guess I've become the crazy cat and chicken lady!

When five boxes arrived I was slightly daunted but needn’t have worried. All the instructions are very clear and if you work through them in order assembly is easy and straightforward, for most of it I was working alone. Our chickens won’t be arriving until next year but I needed the Eglu in place to make sure my chosen site was suitable and the coop would not be affected by any strong winds. It looks very smart and has received very positive comments from friends and neighbours.

I've wanted to keep chickens for ages and did a lot of research about pros and cons of different types of coop. I chose the Cube for its practical features - easy to clean, secure, low maintenance. It's good quality; well-packaged, so no damaged or missing parts, everything required was there and clearly labelled. The instructions are good (although I'd have liked a few more "words" to explain some key points). I assembled the coop and run single-handed, taking it steadily over a couple of day. Anyone who has put together a flat-pack wardrobe or played with Meccano can do this! I have five chooks and they seem very satisfied with their accommodation.

I love the Omlet. I was overwhelmed initially when I received 8 boxes in the first delivery. I was concerned there might be missing pieces. Wow, was I wrong. Each box was not only carefully packed but the instruction book outlined what was expected in each box that was identified by its letter. The instructions even included a time for assembly. Their timeline didn’t quite work for us though. I’m in my late 60s so climbing into the sections took me a little longer than the young girl in the online instructions. ???? However, unlike many build yourself projects, each part went together as instructed. The only time we got into trouble was when my husband suggested jumping ahead doing what logically looked faster. That caused a little disassemble and redo. Just follow the instructions as laid out and you won’t have to back-track. Our hens are still just “teenagers” but they quickly learned the routine. I have the automatic door which is well worth the expense. I’m having a little trouble with getting the light to turn on before the door closes. It’s probably the user programming it. ????. That’s me! Omlet Support has been very helpful so I’m sure once I contact them they can straighten me out. Regardless, when it starts getting dark my girls go in the coup. They will do better with the light but they took to the coup like a duck to water. I highly recommend the Omlet.

I was able to put it together all by myself . Looking forward to moved my chicks to their new home in couple of months.

Decided to invest in two eglus after a severe res mite infestation in my old coops. I’m delighted. The hens took a few days to get used to the ramps and accommodation, so we had a few nights of picking them up and putting them to bed, but they sorted it out within a week.

I bought and put the coop together by myself. I have no building skills at all and I was able to put together this coop. The coop is strong and stable. It keeps my chicks perfectly safe. I am very happy with this coop.
