Quick overview
Smaller backyard flocks that need a raised, cleanable, modular coop and run system with an optional compatible automatic door
Potential advantages
- Cleanable modular design with documented service access
- Integrated house and run ecosystem
- Published capacity separates large, medium, and bantam birds
- Compatible automation can be added after the manual coop works
Potential limitations
- Capacity still depends on bird size, climate, and time spent confined
- The site must remain level so panels, tray, run, and doors stay aligned
- Optional run extensions and automation increase total system cost
- We have not hands-on tested long-term weathering or predator resistance
What we think
The Eglu Cube is a complete physical foundation rather than a door accessory presented as a coop. Its value is the integrated house, tray, nest area, ventilation, run, and anti-dig perimeter. Buyers still need to plan flock capacity, a level drained site, feed, redundant water, daily inspection, and service clearances. Omlet calls for roughly three feet behind the house for the tray and two feet at the run door, which should be reserved before assembly.
Key features
Raised molded coop with a removable cleaning tray

Compatible coated weld-mesh run with anti-dig skirt
Capacity published by bird size: up to 6 large, 8 medium, or 10 bantam hens

UV-stabilized polyethylene house with powder-coated steel structure and stainless hardware
Quick Facts
Who It's For
Smaller backyard flocks that need a raised, cleanable, modular coop and run system with an optional compatible automatic door
Who Should Skip It
Anyone for whom this is a dealbreaker: capacity still depends on bird size, climate, and time spent confined
How to get started
The Eglu Cube supplies the insulated raised house and modular run foundation. Build the complete system around flock capacity, a level site, predator resistance, feed and water access, an optional compatible door, and daily manual checks.
1. Choose flock size before the footprint
Omlet lists capacity by bird size. Use the lower practical number when birds are large, confined more often, or the run has limited usable space. Include future additions before choosing the house and run length.
2. Prepare the site and service clearances
Level the footprint, manage runoff, and leave room behind the house for the removable tray and in front of the run door for access. Do not place the cleaning side against a fence you cannot move.
3. Assemble and inspect the enclosure
Follow the panel and fastener sequence, confirm the run joints are fully engaged, and walk the entire perimeter at ground level. Close gaps caused by uneven soil and verify the anti-dig skirt lies flat.
4. Add feed and water redundancy
Place containers where they stay dry and cannot block travel. Provide enough access that lower-ranking birds are not excluded, then keep a manual backup waterer ready for spills, freezing, or cleaning.
5. Add automation only after manual use works
Let the flock learn the house and opening first. Install a compatible door, supervise repeated opening and closing cycles, test the obstruction behavior, and keep the manual procedure beside the coop.
6. Create a repeatable inspection routine
See every bird daily, verify food and water, inspect the tray, vents, door path, latches, run joints, and perimeter. Technology can reveal a symptom but cannot prove the whole enclosure is secure.
Build the system around this product
Level, well-drained site
Keeps doors, panels, tray, and run alignment from twisting as the ground moves.
Complete run and anti-dig perimeter
Extends the house into a protected daytime system instead of treating the sleeping box as the entire coop.
Feed and redundant water
Provides enough clean access for the flock with a same-day backup if one container spills or freezes.
Compatible automatic door and manual override
Automates timing only after the physical opening works smoothly and every bird uses it.
Dry storage and cleaning kit
Keeps feed, bedding, scraper, brush, and disinfecting supplies protected from rodents and weather.
Optional local camera and climate sensor
Adds observation after the secure structure, ventilation, feed, and water are already dependable.
Before you rely on it
- The house and run sit level without twisted panels.
- The anti-dig perimeter has no lifted sections.
- The tray and doors have full service clearance.
- Every bird can reach food, water, and the pop opening.
- The automatic door has a tested manual override.
- A daily human inspection remains part of the system.
