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

I have had my cube for a few months. I already own the walk in run and 2 go’s. I plan on getting chicks in the spring and needed more room. My chickens love the extra space. I did attach this to my walk in. I am a single woman. I was able to build with the help of my teenage daughter and connect to the run within a couple hours. I love that I don’t have to bend down to clean.

I needed the help of my husband and kids to put it together, but now our girls have a very nice coop with an automatic door! It’s easy to clean and keeps them warm and dry.

Have had my Cube since August now and have waited to test it out before reviewing. It was a huge amount of money to spend so I did masses of research but have to say it’s been worth every penny; I love, love my Eglu, and so do my 9 Bantams (you could fit at least 5 more in the cube but only if you have a large run or can free range them). I put the cube together on my own but I was so excited that I took my time. It was easy with the fab instructions and video available and nothing was missing - a great achievement given the number of parts. The 3m run takes longer to assemble than the Cube but is fine snd is just about manoeuvrable around the garden with one person. I did find that with 9 hens the ground in run gets very quickly trashed so have since bought a 2m x 3m walk in run and then an extension snd am now about to invest in the Omlet fencing so that the girls can free range without trashing my flower beds! Once you have one Omlet product it is addictive. With hindsight I would not have bought the run extension and gone straight for the walk in run as it is quite tricky to try to crawl into the run to clean it etc and my one very minor gripe is that it would be great to have a run access door under the cube as well as at the other end fir ease of putting things into the run at that end too. I did purchase the kit ti put in a new door but have never used it as I got the walk in soon after. Fantastic product, nearly faultless company if only they were still manufactured in the UK. Great customer service. Thank you Omlet. Nearly forgot: one fabulous tip I got from the forum was to put a light inside the house; I did this on the second night snd all the girls went straight to bed!

We have had our Eglu MK II coop with the 9' run for about 2 months and have loved it. It was relatively easy to assemble - I would take their instructional advice and conduct the assembly on a flat surface with a helper, but one person can do it. It's very functional (great for the chickens) and easy to clean (great for me). Our chickens were walking into the run at dusk and into the coop itself at dark without encouragement by the second day. I haven't come up with the perfect solution to latching the run doors (the coop door is a no-brainer and the automatic open/close door accessory is handy), but the whole unit allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of how you add or subtract parts and features. All in all a great product!

I love this product. I've upgraded from the Go Up because I've got more chickens. Its robust, fox-proof and looks good in my garden. The chickens especially appreciate the sheltered area under the coop. I found it took longer than I expected to set-up but it is worth it for the extra features in particular the deeper droppings tray and the separate nest box area. I live in a windy place, and it is so solid it doesn't budge even in strong winds. Built to last and easy to clean. Only thing I would change is to consider using part recycled plastic to improve sustainability. Otherwise its awesome.

Our girls settled into their new Cube very quickly. I was worried that they might struggle with the ladder but they’re up and down in a flap, no bother. I attached the weather shield underneath the cube and this has kept the ground dry and afforded some shelter from the wind and snow. I covered the run with very fine mesh horticultural wind break so keep out wild bird droppings. It works a treat. I didn’t want to use tarpaulins in our exposed garden just in case the whole thing blew away. I love the design of the cube. It’s robust, well insulated and easy to clean.

bought around christmas its perfect

I originally wanted this coop but thought it too big for my garden. I ended up later buying the Mk2 as I needed an automatic door so my daughter wouldn’t have to come in the dark and one does not fit the smaller coop. I think to might have been able to make a frame but no time. The Mk 2 is far superior and really takes up no significant extra space. The hens use the nesting area which they didn’t in the smaller one. It’s easier to clean and altogether a better purchase. Just sorry I wasted money but learned to follow my instinct maybe now!

The cube is probably too big for my 2 bantam hens but chicken maths will kick in and it'll be great to add to the flock. Keeps them nice and warm (tested with a digital thermometer, stayed above zero when it was minus 1/2/3 outside. Easy to clean, open and collect eggs. Its feels safe for them. Only slight issue is rain dripping down through the door turner, but its only at the very front and is because I have a waterproof leading down to that area, Im sure it wouldn't be as bad if the coop was stand alone. I found it was easy to put together by myself, took a while with the stand but feels nice and sturdy. Love that I can add an auto door at a later date.

Oh how I love this coop! I upgraded from the Eglu to give my ladies more space (and perhaps sneak in a couple more) and I’m so impressed with it. It’s really big and incredibly sturdy. We set it up with the automatic door and the coop light and it’s so funny to watch them plodding towards the light at bedtime! There’s a lovely big laying area so they aren’t squabbling over it, and they seem to be warm and toasty at night. It’s so much more straightforward to clean out without having to stoop down. We have ours attached to the walk in run and it’s making chicken keeping an absolute pleasure.
