Why We Love Nestera Plastic Coops – And Why Your Chickens Will Too

If you’ve been keeping chickens for a while, you’ll know the coop is more than just a shelter, it’s the heart of the flock. It’s where they feel safe at night, where they lay their eggs, and where they retreat to when the weather turns. Choosing the right coop can make all the difference to their health and happiness, and to your own daily routine. That’s why we’re proud to stock the brilliant range of Nestera chicken coops, designed by people who really know chickens, and built to make your life easier.

Nestera have been making waves in the chicken keeping world with their clever, low-maintenance designs. These aren’t your average coops, they’re made from 100% recycled plastic, which means they’re sustainable, weatherproof, and built to last. They come with a 25-year warranty, so once you’ve got one, you can tick “buy a new coop” off your to-do list for a very long time.

Easy to Clean – No Fuss, No Chemicals

One of the biggest chores for any chicken keeper is cleaning the coop. With traditional wooden houses, you’re often dealing with rough surfaces, awkward corners, and the need for chemical treatments. Nestera plastic coops are different. The smooth plastic surfaces mean dirt doesn’t cling, so most of the time a quick hose-down will do the job. For stubborn bits, a stiff brush and some water is all you need.

They also have removable droppings trays, which make mucking out quick and painless. And because plastic dries in minutes, there’s no waiting around before the hens can go back in – a real bonus if you’re doing a clean-out mid-day.

Built for All Weathers

British weather is unpredictable at the best of times, so a good coop needs to handle it all – rain, wind, frost, and the occasional scorching day. Nestera coops are made from 9mm-thick recycled plastic that won’t rot, warp, or split. They’re insulated enough to keep hens cosy in winter, yet ventilated for summer comfort.

Which Nestera Coop is Right for You?

Here at Pipinchick, we’ve chosen to stock the models we know work brilliantly for different flocks and garden setups:

Nestera Large Chicken House – Ideal for bigger flocks or if you like giving your hens extra space to stretch out. The large design is perfect for standard breeds and is easy to access for cleaning and egg collection.

Nestera Large Chicken Lodge – Combines generous internal space with raised legs, giving your hens a sheltered spot underneath. Great for wet weather and shade in the summer.

Nestera Medium Chicken House – A solid choice for smaller flocks or where space is limited. Still roomy, still easy to clean, and still with all the same red mite-resistant benefits.

Nestera Medium Chicken Lodge – Offers that handy raised design but in a more compact footprint. Perfect for gardens where space is at a premium.

Nestera Small Chicken House – Best for bantams or just a few hens. Same top-quality build, just scaled down.

Nestera Small Chicken Lodge – A petite raised option, giving your birds both indoor comfort and outdoor cover in one tidy package.

Designed by Chicken Keepers, for Chicken Keepers

Nestera’s team are experienced poultry owners, so they’ve thought of the little details that make a big difference. Modular panels and quick-release clips mean the whole coop can be taken apart for a deep clean and put back together in minutes. Multiple access points make it easier to reach every corner. The perches are sized for chicken feet, and the nest boxes are spacious and inviting.
