We really think so! Nestera has not received a single report of a predator getting into one of their coops. Nestera's ‘chew-resistant’ coops are made from 100% recycled plastic which is really tough, and the ventilation holes are far too small for other animals. The rear door is lockable and the front door is reinforced with rotating metal slide, which makes it difficult to open by lifting, unlike classic vertical sliding doors.
Unfortunately, nothing is 100% red mite-proof. However, Nestera chicken coops are cleverly designed to be extremely red mite-resistant! Red mites are tiny and live in cracks and joints in poultry housing. Unlike wooden chicken coops, Nestera's chicken coops are made from well engineered recycled plastic that creates very few suitable places for red mite to hide. We recommend sprinkling Diatom powder around the coop when refreshing the bedding, so any mites present are quickly dealt with before they can multiply.
The plastic we use is 100% recycled which works perfectly for chicken coops, even in extreme temperatures. In the winter months, the required ventilation means the temperature inside the coop will be similar to the ambient air temperature outside. However, chickens are quite tolerant of the cold as their feathers provide good insulation. During the summer months, our solid, UV-resistant roofs reflect the sun's heat really well, keeping your chickens cool and comfortable.
For the standard range of these coops, there are three sizes: Small, Medium and Large.
The Small is designed for up to 2 large birds, 3 medium hens or 5 bantams.
The Medium for up to 3 large birds, 5 medium size hens or 9 bantams.
The Large suits up to 5 large fowls, 6 medium size hens or 15 bantams.
Absolutely! We offer the Nestera Automatic Door Opener as an optional extra with all their coops. Discreet pre-drilled holes are included on each coop for easy installation.
Most people manage to successfully assemble their Nestera coop in well under an hour. You certainly don’t need to be a DIY expert! We provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions with every chicken coop.
