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

I know, I know - I went all in! But it doesn't stop there - The birds also enjoy a roosting complex of perches, we all like the reliable auto-door, the feeding/watering troughs that keep food/water mostly contained and clean easily, and the 3'x9' dark green tarp that provides shade and shelter. What can I say? We are fans. Impressed even. I have not had a hard attempt at encroachment on the enclosure, but a soft one or three have occurred; Raccoons, possums, cats, and multiple rat snakes. Nobody sweats the snakes though as they are welcome to the field mice! In fact, one juvenile snake currently lives under my house (on stilts) where the bird enclosure is. The last attempted incursion, a huge wild-looking cat, scared my 3-5 mutineers that had been sleeping out in the enclosure up on the perches for 2-3 months at that time. My set-up: Walk-in+Tractor Run+Coop (All attached, mostly under my house on stilts, rural setting, thick bayou forestland). Auto door between tractor run and walk-in enclosure. Full-time open door on the actual Cube coop. Roosting bar in the tractor run and roosting complex in the walk-in. Anyway, after the cat incident, all 8 are now in the Cube coop at night - Even through the worst of the heat wave we had this summer. They were and are comfortable and safe - 8 medium-sized hens (4 Welsummers and 4 Welsummer/Cream Leg Bar hybrids). IMO, the walk-in enclosure likely would NOT withstand a hard attack (as designed), but with some added/custom framing it would. However, the tractor run and coop are stout, which is the birds' secured area. All components are holding up well and performing perfectly, as advertised. Quality materials and manufacturing. My own custom connection between walk-in run+tractor run. Custom connection of auto-door to tractor run, lower, wire door space. Using hardware cloth & zip ties mostly. Top wire door to tractor run is still usable and accessible. Advice: Take your time with assembly and follow the instructions step by step. I will include pics when we can figure out why the ones just taken with my phone will not upload at the moment.

I bought this coop, because I already had the walk-in chicken run, but I had an old wooden bunnings coop that was just a pain to clean and was getting too small for my needs. This coop took all of 5-mins to clean and fits all my chooks. Took them a bit of time to get use to going up steps instead of a ramp though.

I love the Eglu Cube and 4m run. More importantly, my chooks love it. It’s a dream to move, needing only one person. We move it around our very large yard at least every two days. The droppings tray is fabulous. Very easy to empty into the compost bin and then clean. The girls love the egg laying space too. It took them just one night to get used to working out their roosting protocol and the darkness of the Cube has deterred our peppy rooster from crowing too early.

I recently assembled this cube which was a slow process for a first timer working alone, but I appreciate the degree of thought that went into the engineering and design. This is something you can appreciate when assembling. I will say the youtube video demonstrating assembly was helpful but skipped over details that, in the manual, proved important. All in all, a learning experience.The 12ft run is great and I can't imagine doing it smaller (call me a softie).

Excellent, safe sleep and laying areas. Secure and comfortable

I was undecided if I wanted chickens until I seen the omlet and seen how easy it is to clean and now that I have it it's easier to clean than I thought 10-15 minutes top and you're done

... and I responded. The cube was meant to be in my backyard and it's home to my six chicks. Three four-month-old Swedish Flower Hens, two girls and a boy, and three nearly two-month-olds, a couple of eggs from Pakistan that hatched and one hybrid from my backyard chicken. They adore their home, and fly out every day to free range and recognise the security of their Eglu Cube to run into given any sign of threat! The cube took over couple hours to install and run with it's meter extension was not complicated either. I don't know if I have put it exactly how it's meant to be, it's strong, secure and looks ever so gorgeous! Additionally, I bought a shade and rain cover too, much needed in this wet summer we have had thus far. I'd be more than happy for folks to come visit and see the coop, if it helps to understand how it functions together. I only hope that at some stage, the design evolves and incorporates a material coating, like silicone on the hard plastic roosting tray, as it would be equally washable but provide a better grip for the hens.

First time chicken owner and this coop could not be EASIER! We love our omlet coop! Super easy to use and clean. Our chickens have been really enjoying it!

I’m really happy with my coop. It was simple, and straightforward to put together. My 7 ladies, and Arnie, obviously like it as they’re going to bed half an hour earlier than before! I highly recommend it! (I will add that my chickens are free range from 0600 till 2130)

This is a great set up. A year and a half ago I purchased the smaller "go up" model and though the 2 hens that use it are fine there, I wish I had gone all out and gotten the bigger one initially. I have added 3 babies and they are using the new big one. Both are in the same chicken "compound" and while there is some visitation out of curiosity, no one goes up into the others' hutch area. Thank goodness at this point. It was easy to put together and helped having had some experience.
