We’ve had an eglu cube for 10 years now and it’s still rockin! The clips eventually needed to be replaced with zip ties and we did have to reweld the wheels back on when they broke
That’s a wonderful setup Tara, and those are about the most colourful bunch of chickens I’ve ever seen 🐓
Once I have chickens, I can't live without them. They are the cutest little things 😍
Great to see the coop in use and not brand new or super clean. We’re considering buying this one as s replacement for the wooden leftovers of our current coop and I love how you show what it looks like in use with some dirt and everything. Great review and keep up the good work!
We’ve bought it and love it. The chickens love it too. Cleaning is never my most enjoyable task but with the Eglu, at least it’s not frustrating and it’s actually very easy. Plus the coop looks good in the garden.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you for making it.
My neighbor said in the city we can have 2 chickens per house. I now have a reason to get them. An easy place for them to live; easy for me/easy for them. Great video. Loving today, not watching Hollywood (Hollywierd) and watching UA-camrs like you.
Aww those girls are looking so good now. Wonderful job ms tara
Shane O'Mack thank you 💜
Nice Review! Thank you!
We’ll definitely buy one!
Best review I’ve seen yet of the new version! Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much 😍
i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?
@Ahmir Mekhi ehh I'd suggest flixportal. you can find it on google:P -declan
@Declan Thaddeus Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it !
@Ahmir Mekhi Happy to help :D
Merci, c'est une belle présentation de l'Eglu Cube. Je l'ai reçu ce matin , j'ai hâte de le monter est d'y mettre mes poules ...
Great review sweet girl. I love my eglu coops and run.
Thank you for sharing, you give us a very good demo, clear, and very detail thank you. question; we are an area that snow very good some times, should we have to put a heater to keep the chicks comfortable. Thank you and have a nice and safe day.
I neve saw Rescue person for chicken, I'm from India and That chicken coop is quite expensive here but You are doing very good job for birds thanks. ♥️
Great video!
I loved the look of these chicken coops. I tried to encourage my parents to get then when they had chickens but turned out to be too expensive (UK prices can be insane).
God bless your sweet heart.
I have the Eglu Go UP. I love it, but would be thrilled to have the Eglu Cube, as I've hit my maximum. I too have rescue girls. They are my babies!
That’s so awesome that you have rescues!
Good job
I am liking this coop. I live in CT and we can get strong winds. Does it do well with strong winds?
Thank you for your amazing video!
I have a few questions:
How long does it take to clean/can you show us the cleaning please?
Is there anything rescue specific to keep in mind?
Are the roosts nice for their feet? My only concern about this coop is that they look quite flat and potentially slippy and obviously hens don't like slippy things.
My joints dislocate easily so it's important for me to understand how easy 'easy' is with regards to things like pushing the wheels down etc. Do you have anything you could liken it to please? Is pulling it harder than pulling a wheelbarrow?
Would you say opening the doors/the latches are similar to those of a stroller or are they stiffer?
If you were to set up another cube what would you change? Would you use the Omlet feeders still?
I notice that you don't really have toys etc. in there, is that because they're new rescues or would you just not recommend them overall?
How well do you feel this coop stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter? I worry that plastic isn't well known for insulation.
Is this the best coop in your opinion for rescues?
Do you think you may need to lower the cube as they get older/would it be hard for them to get into?
Thank you again for all of your wonderful videos!
Great video. I do a lot of moving and wanted to know will I be able to disassemble this coop and reassemble it For when I have to move?
Without a raised roost, do the chickens sleep well? Thanks. Great video.
I saw that you use lime in the bedding of the coop in a different video of yours. Have you ever used DE? Is lime a better alternative to repel bugs compared to diatomaceous earth? Also I have 6 standard hens would in your opinion this be an ok coop for them? Omlets website is confusing saying it can hold 10 I would really like your opinion. Thank you!
Thank you for your review. We are new to chickens and have 9 Easter Egger chicks 🐥. We are thinking about the 13 ft run and letting them sleep wherever. What do you think about the coop in very hot weather? We are in Phoenix and I like that I can move this into shade throughout the day.
It’s very nice because you can get the wheels and move in. As long as the chickens have access to water and shade you should be fine. I’ve been pretty happy with how ventilated it is 😊
Hows that coop coming along? Do you still like it? How long have you had it? Is it standing up to the elements?
Great video and lucky chickens! Do you think 6 wyandottes would fit in the eglu cube with the 9 foot run? They are a large breed, so I'm a little unsure.
I’m not sure of the breed. If they are very large it could be better to have 4
Are the skirts around the side detachable? We want to put this against a fence on one side so would be unnecessary. Love the review, thanks!
Yes they are.
Like your review of omlet coop. Would that work in the high desert of Arizona?
I don’t see why not. They would need good shade I would assume. I like mine because on the really hot days I can wheel it into an area with extra shade
Hi Tara, I just watched all of your omlet videos and I'm really excited to get one! Were you able to get a new discount code? Either way thank you for making these videos, they're super helpful!
Unfortunately I no longer have a discount code. Sorry!
@@TaraBeaverCoronado no worries! Thanks for letting me know. Hope the girls are well!
How many chickens can the 6 foot one hold?
Do you think this would work to transport five chickens during an eleven hour car ride in the back of an SUV? Does the henhouse portion completely detach from the rest of the green wire/stand/wheels/frame? We're considering rehoming our chickens (with a local friend) or taking them with us when we move.
Teresa Danak the green part isn’t made to detach and attach on a regular basis. 5 chickens can easily fit in it. You could possibly just build the green part for then finish assembling after the move.
But if I’m being honest you’d be better off using a large dog crate for the move and have this delivered to your new house for their coop.
Where did you get the Grubblie dispenser ?
We have that exact coop =)
So I am completely new to chickens! Do you feel this set up would work great for 3 hens. 2 being Wyandotte’s and 1 being an Olive/Easter Egger cross?
Yes!! They will fit in the coop perfectly.
Beaver Vineyards Thank You for responding! Hopefully all goes well and they love it! We picked up a Silver laced Wyandotte, a Blue laced red Wyandotte, and the little cross should be a fun surprise. They are currently 5 days old so we have a ways to go. I was totally planning to build them something but we plan on buying a new home in the next 2 years and I’d live to build them something extravagant where we could have a few more girls when we move.
I am in Vermont and thinking of this coop but worry about predators getting through the fencing to eat the food ( like rats) or to eat the chickens. Is this also warm enough for New England winters? Thankns
I haven’t had any issues with rodents getting in. They also many an extra cover to put over the coop for extreme cold! Might be a good accessory for you.
You can save money using code BEAVERVINEYARDS 😊
Do you think it would be ok to keep 6 hens in the 9 foot run if they were let out to free-range a few times per week? There may be 1 or 2 days per week where I may not be able to let them out of the run, would it be too cramped to leave them in there for a day or two?
Yes I think they would do just fine 😊
How much is the small omlet cube?
Hello! I have been saving for this coop however recently emailed the company and they said I would need two cubes for 12 chickens (2 being bantams). If I let them use the nesting boxes for sleeping do you think I could get away with one cube? Thanks for the review!
Hi! I would definitely go by what Omlet says. They’re the experts.
I wonder if the coop is still safe for the winter
Hey Tara,
How many Buff Orpingtons would you say could fit into this coop (not including the run) comfortably, without stressing or fighting?
Probably 4-5
How well does the Omlet Eglu protect the chickens against raccoons?
I don’t think I’ve had any issues with raccoons. I seems pretty predator proof, but you could definitely reach out to Omlet and ask them!
How would this do in Florida heat?
Hi, I have a question about the sliding door between the roost and nesting area. If it needs closed every evening and opened in the morning then why buy the automatic door when you’ll need to be there anyway?? Or am I missing something? Thanks for the great advice and have a nice day.
I never close that door 😊
The only time I would close it is if maybe I was cleaning that area and afraid of a chicken getting out. Or maybe if a chicken went broody and I was trying to stop her. But essentially it’s always open
Merci
The coop also has an optional automatic door and optional light.
Hello, I do wonder what you use to stop the featherpicking? I had trayed to get in by googling it. But I do not get it. Will you give me the name of this proteinrich and calciumrich food? Thank you. Irene Lyngfjell
Are they pecking eat other? I just feed a layer crumble. If they’re pecking each other they need more space
Do you take their food away at night or leave it all night?
Sweet coop wish they made one big enough for 50 birds
Is Eglu Cube suitable for 8 white leghorns?
how about a fryer?
I’m in the PNW. Did it warp or melt in the Cali heat?
Oh no. It’s think plastic. The heat doesn’t affect it
How many chickens do you have? I plan on using this coop without a run as a winter house
In this chicken coop I currently have 7 bantams
Love this coop! What size is this one? Run size.
This is the 9ft run 😊 I still have it and love it!
@@TaraBeaverCoronado awesome!!! Good for 4 buff Orpingtons? We can’t free run so they would be in the coop/run full time
Hi - I have decided to get chickens. I’ve ordered this coop. How many Red Cross chickens do you think I could comfortably raise in it??
Which coop did you get? The Eglu or the Go?
Beaver Vineyards Sorry I saw both your videos on the Omlets and only watched this one so far. I got the large one... the eglu
are you still happy with the eglu? I am thinking of getting one...if so, do you have a referral coupon code I can use?
I don’t have a coupon. But I am still very very happy with it.
How well does it protect against snakes?
To be honest I have no idea. I don’t have any issues with snakes. You should email Omlet. They’re normally really food about getting back to people.
How conducive is this to do the Deep Litter Method with this coop?
I don’t use the deep little method with this coop. It’s really easy to just dump out. I actually don’t use any bedding except in the nesting area
I think WTFarm girl has the same chicken koop.i,m not sure who had there's 1st.But i know she got it for her son for him to take on his own project.
Or use it as manure for compost.
I’m buying my first home in suburban Southern California but the backyard is 80% concrete with just a small grass growing corner. Do you think that’s good enough for the chickens? I wouldn’t adopt if I’m not certain I can give them good homes after their rough lives. But it’s always been a dream of mine to have chickens!
The would need to be on the grass and have some dirt where they can take dust baths.
Are they supposed to poop where they lay?
No.
You can easily push it and poulet
I would put them in a dog kennel, give them room to run, etc. Keep the roost, etc part
Heathen Wolf soon they will be in a 20x20 pen and then eventually they’ll be free range. I like having them in this coop because I’m able to monitor them. Just today I had to pull a broken egg out of one’s vent 😞 I’m afraid if they’re in a bigger pen, or mixed with my flock, I could miss things like that. Luckily since it has wheels I’m able to easily move it to keep them on fresh grass. They won’t get that is a fixed pen.
@@TaraBeaverCoronado Sweet. Thought that was as big as it was gonna get. You know it is possible for people to adopt former battery hens. It's horrible what they do to the poor chickens there. But great that they can adopt them out!
Are you still using it? Any down side you have found?
I’m still using it 😊 I love it and highly recommend it still!
Thank you! I ordered mine and I am still a little worry it won’t be big enough for 6 chickens. I also got the 9ft run
@@yesskaly27 it depends on breed too, some breeds are pretty large and 6 might be too many. You could always start with 4 and see how you feel.
I also highly recommend their auto door. It’s my absolute favorite
@@TaraBeaverCoronado thank you so much for your response!
we got 3 leghorn and 3 ISA
@@yesskaly27how did that amount work for you?
Do cats attack chickens?
Personally mine don’t. 1 cat is scared of them, and the other cat loves them and just lays around with them.
doest seem a lot of room for the hens to lay their eggs
I like your finger nails
The coop has very little ventilation, it must get HOT in there at night!! That alone would keep me from using this coop.
We have some pretty hot summers here. Weeks of over 100. I haven’t had any problems. I leave the door to the coop open when it’s hot. The side guards keep things from digging into it.
It’s been great!
I would also let them sleep where they want.
I have a omlet coop and the fox got it
Michelle Quat wow! Really? You should let Omlet know I’ve never heard of anything getting in them.
Yay it happen this morning
We saw some blood under the water
u need to get the pegs to hold the apron down or something large can lift the pen and get under it
The is a UK
It blows my mind are chickens regularly suffering like this at 'egg factories' / cafo's?? Shocking. Support your local organic farmer!
You sound like Ronda Rousey
ocar fbelly WWE
Speaking from the experience since it is plastic YOU CAN NOT LEAVE THIS IN THE SUMMER SUN WITH THE BIRDS SHUT IN. Someone who didn’t know what they were doing shut them up in there and they all died
Omg noooooo. Yes you can’t leave them locked in!! I wouldn’t even leave them locked in in the winter!!!
I have an auto door on my Cube. And my smaller one I don’t even close the door during the summer
Is it not ventilated? Do you keep the door open at night? I thought you close it at night?
This coop is trash. At least the one I finally got in the mail. Doesn’t fit correctly, directions are really bad, it also feels really cheap. I would recommend you make your own or buy a different brand. For a coop plus six foot run it’s over a thousand dollars and after trying to put it together and getting to the coop and the walls not fitting I’d say it’s not worth 250 dollars. Be WARNED this product isn’t always made in good quality. She may have had a good time with this but I’m very upset with this crappy product.
I am so so sorry to hear this!!! I’ve actually never heard this bad of a review on them. I still use mine and absolutely love it.
Have you contacted Omlet? I think quality is very important to them.
I call BULLSHIT.
