We have been using a Nestera Lodge for a number of years. They are fine for bantams and less agile birds (like our Buff Orpingtons) as, despite being raised from the ground, they still use a ramp rather than a ladder. This easy access also makes them possible for raising chicks (chicks don’t cope well with ladders or steep ramps). When using for chicks we block up the space under the coop and the ramp until the chicks grow a little as they can accidentally run underneath when tiny and get confused. The space under the coop offers hens some protection from wind and rain during the day and the slight raising of the coop (the floor is about 27cm off the ground) makes it possible to clean out the coop without having to kneel down which is nice in the Winter when the ground is wet.
Nestera suggest this size for 5 Buff Orpingtons, 8 Large Fowl like Warrens or 15 Bantams. We find that you can get 8 bonded Orpingtons in the coop.
Developed in the UK over two decades, Nestera recycled plastic chicken coops have been designed for the well-being and comfort of your flock and to guarantee easy cleaning and excellent durability carrying a 25 year guarantee. We challenge you to find another coop manufacturer who offers this length of guarantee!
The Large coop is equipped with two perches and two nesting boxes.
The coop features adjustable ventilation on one side and fixed on the other. They also have excellent thermal insulation to offer comfortable temperatures all year round
With a removable rear wall and roof and easily removable nesting box the coop offers full access to the interior for quick and easy cleaning. There’s no lip at the edge of the floor when the wall is removed, making it very easy to sweep soiled bedding directly from the floor into a container.
Nestera coops have far less places for red mites to hide and reproduce, compared to wooden coops as they have limited joints. Wooden coops generally have lapped wood, provided multiple havens for mites. Being recycled plastic the chicken coops ensures cleaning is easy and complete mite eradication is possible. We use a jet wash on ours!
The coops are made from 9mm-thick recycled plastic. This minimises their environmental impact and also offers a lifespan far greater than any wooden coop. We have been using Nestera coops for years and they have required no maintenance but still look fantastic. The coops are resistant to UV, and won’t degrade over time, which is why they have a guarantee for 25 years!
