Great for broody hens or younger pullets, this cozy coop sits low to the ground for effortless access. Excellent starter coop for beginners.
Coop will accommodate 2 Large Hens, 3 Medium Hens or 5 Bantams.
This Hen House sits easily on your soil for straightforward setup. The nesting area is split into two equal compartments, and the slanted roof opens easily for egg collection. A single wooden perch stretches across the shelter's width, providing ample space for several chickens to rest comfortably. Additionally, a 16.375" ramp allows for easy access in and out of the shelter.
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. Do your research on what breeds of chickens would be good for your area's weather. Some are more tolerant of heat or cold.
During the warmer summer months, our solid, UV-resistant roofs reflects the sun's heat really well, keeping your chickens cool and comfortable. Make sure your chickens have some shade in the summer, either from a tree or a tarp or wind sail.
One of the best parts about Nestera coops is that they are so easy to clean. The plastic construction allows you to hose it down or power wash, reducing the possibilities of red mites. For seasonal cleaning and maintenance, the back wall of the coop can be removed, and cleaned.
The compact size makes it easy to place where it's most convenient for you. The 0.5" thick recycled plastic construction is both durable and environmentally friendly, and the black color offers excellent insulation.
All Nestera Chicken Coops come with dual adjustable vents that help regulate the internal temperature. Just adjust depending on the weather or need for air-flow. You simply turn the dials to operate.
Invest in a long-lasting shelter for your backyard chickens with any Nestera Chicken Coop product, which all come with a 25-year warranty. No worries about rotting wood or constant pest infestation. This hen house won't need replaced for a very long time.

Nestera's ‘chew-resistant’ coops are made from 100% recycled plastic which is really tough, so they are considered predator resistant. 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. As always, take precautions by not leaving feed out overnight and storing it either inside or in a tightly sealed bucket. Keep your coop bedding clean and make sure to get an automatic coop door opener/closer or be sure to lock your flock in each night.
Unfortunately, nothing is 100% red mite-proof. However, Nestera plastic 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, ours are made from solid 100% recycled plastic and created to ensure there are 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 we have found to be an excellent material for chicken coops. 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 warmer summer months, our solid, UV-resistant roofs reflects the sun's heat really well, keeping your chickens cool and comfortable.
