Picking a coop comes down to three things: how many hens you keep, how high off the ground you want it, and which jobs you would like to make easier. Here is how the Nestera range maps to each — so you buy once and enjoy decades of happy chicken keeping.
Our Small suits up to 3 medium hens, Medium up to 5, Large coops, Atlas and Wagon up to 8. Aspen 6 is suitable for 6 medium hens. Bantams need less room — and it is always wise to size up if your flock might grow.
Filter by capacity →Close-to-ground House coops are perfect for chicks and broody hens. Mid-raised Lodge and fully-raised Penthouse coops add shelter underneath and save your back at cleaning time.
Filter by height →Every coop is ready for an automatic door opener, a WiFi camera and droppings trays. Some models can be equipped with wheels to move it to fresh ground, or a run to let your flock roam safely.

Wood absorbs moisture and droppings stick in every crack. Nestera smooth recycled-plastic panels hose down fast and dry quickly — so you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your flock.
Rounded perches, elevated ventilation and quiet nest boxes are designed around your flock wellbeing. Solid plastic gives red mite far fewer places to hide than cracked, jointed wood.
See why thousands of chicken keepers are making the switch.

So easy to clean — takes less than 5 minutes. My girls love it and I do not dread cleaning day anymore. Worth every penny.
Had wooden coops for years, always battling red mite. This plastic one is a game changer — two years in and it still looks brand new.
Assembled in under an hour with no tools. My six hens settled straight in. The raised Penthouse makes egg collection effortless.

Protecting your flock is one of our highest design priorities. Nestera coops incorporate multiple predator-resistant features, including robust recycled-plastic panels, reinforced access doors, secure locking systems on some models, and ventilation openings designed to minimise access points.
Although these features significantly reduce the likelihood of predator entry, no chicken coop can offer an absolute guarantee against every predator or situation. Good husbandry practices, such as closing and securing the coop every evening, remain essential.
Absolutely. Our Nestera Automatic Door Opener and Smart Auto Door are an optional extra on every coop, with discreet pre-drilled holes included for easy installation. It runs in manual, timer or light-sensor mode.
Most people assemble their coop in well under an hour or two depending of model size — no DIY expertise needed. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions are included with every coop and available to download.
