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

We bought the eglu cube early last spring and we still have the same hens that we bought originally as the cube and run are completely fox-proof. We also live in fox-heaven and there are always foxes running around the place. The box and run also look great and it is soooo easy to clean. Now with a years practice, we could probably clean out the whole cube and move the run around to some fresh grass in about 10-15 minutes flat. Over-all It is a genius product and i rate it 5*. BUY IT NOW!!!

We are absolutely delighted with our purchase of the Eglu. From the order to the delivery everything was first class. We are also so pleased with the safety aspect for our chickens which was of major concern given our semi-rural location. Both ourselves and the chickens have a very good night sleep. Many thanks.

A simple design that is practical and easy to use. The chickens seem happy and are fascinating to watch. Cleaning is made easy by the clever way that the cube comes apart. Feeders and water dispenser are designed to fit onto the run and again are simple to maintain. In summary, very pleased with our purchase especially the egges which have started coming daily now the hens have been here a week!

This is a great product. The size and shape is really good allowing it to fit in quite tight places, while still allowing easy access for cleaning and egg removal. It was a little tight to put together and the roof could have been a better fit, but it is water tight and looks fantastic. It is really easy to clean and the chickens love it. The run fits really nicely to it and it seems really secure. The colour is lush, it looks really good in the garden. I have major chicken envy from all my friends and the kids think it was well worth loosing some toys to make space for it all. The accessories are great to, it all adds to the great look and functional design. Brilliant.

I was very pleased with the cube and so were my newly acquired ex-battery hens. They worked out straight away (somehow !!) where to find their provisions, where to sleep and where to lay but were a bit unsure of the ladder. They plucked up courage to try it after a couple of days but now (after a week) they ignore it altogether preferring to just jump in and out. My husband did have to make a couple of minor alterations during assembly to create a perfect fit for all the parts. Thanks!

Our cube was assembled by a chap called George, who was friendly, informative and most efficient. He was able to offer helpful hints and tips regarding the care of our hens. We had a couple of problems, those being a small tear in the canopy and the coating on the door pegs, but both where replaced within days - thank you. The only thing that I would liked to have changed was the 'hand' of the door to the run. It would have been useful if this was interchangeable or a hand could have been specified at time of order?

Great idea but could do with some refinements! Very tiny door to run makes it virtually impossible to encourage chickens up the ladder for the first few nights and/or to reach additional food and water containers in run (mine don't like the Grub and Glug). Not possible to put cube and run against a wall or fence for added rain/wind protection (or just for convenience in a smaller garden) as you need access to the rear to remove trays to clean, access to one side to get to nesting box, the opposite side for the handle to close the cube door and the front for the chickens to get in and out of the run. Would be much better if the handle for the sliding door was the same side as nesting box and door to the run was placed at the rear, under the cube. It is such a tiny door it would easily fit. Have just ordered the wind/winter shades to add some protection but the wind shade only fits one panel beneath the cube (not all three) and the winter one covers top and one side. Would like to see a waterproof cover added that at least covers the area underneath the cube, to rear and both sides, to provide protection on those days when it just doesn't stop raining.

It lives up to all expectations.

I had serious doubts about spending a lot of money on a chicken house and especially one i hadn't even seen! However, I can't rate the cube highly enough. I've had it for two weeks now and my four girls love it. I got the extension too as otherwise i felt it would be far too cramped for them. I would not put anymore hens in there. On Sat it took me 6 mins to clean thoroughly - i clean out the poo trays every other day and i line the trays with newspapers so the job takes me about 30 seconds. My girls are VERY happy, as am I.

I simply adore the quality and design of this, the Rolls Royce of hen hotels. The Cube was easily assembled by me and my 18 month old son (who surprisingly wasn't that much help) in about 90 mins. We collected the girls on Friday and Hermione laid our first egg on Sunday, which really was the best Mothers Day present I've ever had! Both my children love the new arrivals and I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has ever thought of grabbing a bit of the good life for themselves. The girls love going up to bed in the evening and I can sleep tight in the knowledge that they are warm and safely tucked up too.
