Verified Reviews for Eglu Pro® - Extra Large Chicken Coop and Runs
Treat yourself! And your chickens.
The instructions, labels, and diagrams are fabulous. Many small intentional design features to make the assembly less overwhelming. We followed it step by step (including ordering a pizza) and my husband and I assembled it in a few hours with NO arguing. A few parts were labeled with part numbers that didn't match the instructions but the detailed images made it easy to work through it. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to the first cleaning? It's going to be so easy!

A Seamless upgrade for the Eglu run
I recently added the Omlet Easy Access Run Door to my Eglu Cube run, and I honestly wonder how I managed without it. This product is a testament to great design; it truly looks like it's always been an integral part of the run's original design. The aesthetic is perfectly matched, and it blends in so seamlessly that visitors often assume it came with the Cube.
Beyond its impressive appearance, the functionality of this door has been a game-changer. It has made cleaning the run so much easier. Previously, reaching the far end of the run, especially under the coop, involved a significant amount of contortion and stretching. Now, with the easy access door, I can simply open it and comfortably reach every corner, making the weekly clean-out a breeze. This not only saves me time and effort but also ensures a more thorough cleaning for my chickens.
Furthermore, accessing their food and water containers has become significantly simpler. No more awkward lean-ins or trying to maneuver bowls through the mesh. The wider opening provided by the door allows for effortless placement and retrieval of feeders and drinkers, which is a small but incredibly convenient detail that enhances the overall chicken-keeping experience.
In summary, if you own an Eglu Cube and are looking to improve your run access and cleaning routine, the Omlet Easy Access Run Door is an absolute must-have. Its brilliant design, seamless integration, and practical benefits make it a five-star upgrade.

Eglu pro
I have owned the eglu pro for just over a month now and am absolutely delighted with it. Having kept chickens for over ten years in a large wooden coop I can honestly say I wish I had converted years ago. So easy to clean and our girls love it. Highly recommended

Easy to use
it can be operated with one hand which is great because the end door is a bit of a fiddle. you don’t have to stoop through the door, it’s good it opens from the roof so you don’t have to be on your hands and knees

It makes it easier
It's great for new birds to get them into the coop, placing the feeder and drinker underneath it means its easier to fill them up

Best thing Omlet has created in a long time
It’s amazing, I have always hated getting into the chicken coop on my hands and knees. I think it’s the best thing you have created in a long time.

Nightmare to put together!
If you're considering buying this, go in with your eyes open - it's a massive job to put together.
You absolutely need two people; some steps are made impossible to do alone. There are literally hundreds of pieces and 120 pages of incredibly detailed instructions. When we first laid everything out, I honestly felt like crying.
It took us over 8 hours across three weekend days, and it arrives in about 16 huge boxes. Now that it’s built, I think it’s great, but if we’d known how stressful and time-consuming the assembly would be, we definitely wouldn’t have bought it.
Omlet really needs to make this easier for future buyers; so many parts could have come pre-connected. Customers shouldn't be treated as free manual labor.
That said, now that it’s up, I’m sure the new chickens (who had to be postponed because of the build!) will absolutely love it, we'll have this for the next 20 years I'm sure. We’re calling it The Chicken Palace! 🐣

Omlet response:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we truly appreciate it. We understand that the Eglu Pro is a substantial build, which is why we've put considerable effort into creating detailed assembly manuals and videos to support you throughout the process. We do recommend that two people work together on the assembly for the best experience, and we’ve even curated a special Spotify playlist to make the process more enjoyable!
Lifesaver!
Moved to the Omlet gang after what seemed like an endless streak of bad luck; wooden shed got infested with particularly bad red mite, the plastic shed was a nightmare to clean, the chickens kept getting mud balls stuck to their feathers after a particularly wet winter, we finally caved and got the eglu pro, walk in run - all the bells and whistles. WHY didn't I switch sooner!? It took us 3 days with no prior experience to fully build, but SO worth it! Infinitely easier to clean and maintain, keeps the chickens clean, instructions were streamlined and straightforward (or "Beth proof" as my partner jokes 🤣). Don't think I'd ever go back to what we had before!

Desperately needed to get all my fluffy feet breeders off the ground and out of the mud. Took 2 days to build 4 cubes and 1 pro.
Easy to build, working well, chooks are loving them and worked the night houses out easily.
So far so good 😊
Super happy with them!
The Omlet team were amazing to deal with.
Thank you Omlet for all your help!

Wood be gone … best hen house ever
We bought the Omlet Eglu Pro in November 2024.
It has been 100% a positive experience.
My situation was for eight years I had been buying the cute doll house chicken coops made out of wood ( if you can call it wood). In that time a single purchase from Omlet would have more than halved my costs… and saved a lot of problems for my chickens.
I actually have no negatives to share and believe Onlet is the first business that has set me in a positive path.
My more detailed thoughts follow:
- ordering was simple and communications effective and as needed.
- the product arrive within 7-10 days ( we have a bush property so are regional).
- it took my husband and I around six hours to build, I assisted and he did most of the work.
- the instruction manual was brilliant and clearly made and designed by engineers who know how to communicate.
- I sent my oldest chicken up in the evening first and she stayed the others all followed it was pretty cool
- we had a massive mite infection from the wild birds which I. The biggest reason I dumped the cute wood chicken doll house for something practical. This part is pretty cool as the mites had no place to hide, we sprayed the tray under the hen house and they all went down looking for a place to hide and basically died. The problem is not going to come back as the wood coop was the breeding ground for the problem introduced by the the wild birds .
- the hen house is very easy to clean and more sanitary then the wood coop.
I am sold and regret the wasted years with wood just because I wanted a pretty doll house for my chickens.
Thank you Omlet so much for being there and to your engineers for the design and an end product that is extremely well considered.
You listened and designed!
