Thank you for the discount code - I have just ordered my first coop in preparation for my first ever chooks in the new year. I love the channel and watching your brilliant videos. They are so informative and have given me the confidence to start keeping chickens! Thank you both :)
Just bought one, not via your recomendation BUT, seeing your review after the fact is comforting that i've made a good choice and yes, wooden coops are a mare. I am currently dealing with a red mite infestation and have had to resort to REALLY powerful insecticides to eradicate them. Every.Single.Word. you say about wooden coops is true. They are great until they get wet and in winter almost never dry out. Excellent vid. Thanks...
I'm sure you will be delighted with the Nestera coop, they are so easy yo clean -vwe have a video on how we clean them (and another on dealing with red mite). Happy to post links if you want to see them
@@Cornz38 Hi! The pieces fit tightly but there are both fixed and variable ventilation gaps at the top of the walls under the roof. The vents are high enough to not cause draughts but do supply enough fresh air for health and prevent condensation. As for heating we've not found it necessary with a good deep layer of shavings. The lowest that we normally get is around -10C. On very cold nights Fiona does put a hot water bottle in the coop and give the hens a supper of mixed corn.

These are a great coop we used the same one as in the vid and it's perfect easy to clean only one thing I find negative we use ours with a chicken guard auto door and even with a small amount of bedding debris I.e wood shavings in the door rail it can stop the door from fully closing. Other than that it realy is a good coop ours is about 4 years old now and still going strong still looks like the day it was new
Hello Hugh and Fiona. I just ordered the large nestera chicken coop to Belgium (EU) with your discount. Thanks for the discount and the recommendation. I'm looking forward to a red lice free and easy cleaning coop👏😄. After having several chicken breeds we finally started this year with buff Orphingtons. I bought one laced hen, who is super sweet and fluffy. And my silkies are raising two more Orphington chicks 🐣🐤. Hopefully the Orphintons are the robust, dual purpose, self hatching breed we are looking for in our way of a more selfsufficient life. I really enjoy your videos and helpfull advice. Keep on going! We'll keep following you 😉
Hi Marina! I hope you are as happy with your Nestera coop as we are! Ours has been in use by broodies throughout the season and we are so pleased with it! We are sure you will enjoy Orpingtons - they are charming as well as useful. Do please let us know how you get on with the coop?
Thanks for the video. We are on the lookout for a decent coop and we have had Omlets before but as you say, they don’t seem to come in big enough sizes. I like that these ones are British made but i’m a little put off by the shape of the door and the dangling string pulley. I will explore the range though.
Hi Louise - Hugh here I was concerned too! it's actually a solid design - as you will see on the channel, I've tested loads of autodoors and designs. So, having tested it, here are my thoughts. If you have a vertical pop hole you need a taller coop because the pophole has to have room to rise. This creates a lot of dead air space at the top of the coop because it's taller than the chickens need making harder to keep warm. If you have a horizontal sliding door, you can have a lower coop but you can't use most auto openers because they close under gravity - you are pretty much left with the Omlet Autodoor only - which I like but is not as configurable as some like the Chicken Guard. the joy of the pivoting door rather than a sliding horizontal or vertical pop hole is that you can have a lower roof so easier to keep warm AND have your choice of auto openers. I originally thought it odd but when I fitted it and worked through the logic, I'm persuaded that it does answer a design challenge.
Ahhhh FINALLY! A decent kit set coop I can use for my bantams! Pleeeease tell me this company ships to New Zealand?? Awesome channel I have been watching for a while now and have been utterly inspired 🥰
@@EnglishCountryLife I'm hoping if enough of us ask they'll seriously consider it. 😁 I'm over our pallet coop and the commercial ones just don't hold up in this tropical climate. We need these beauties 😁
I have had one of these for a few years very durable , solid etc . Do still get mites so dismantle jet wash and sorted . My only negative is that when it’s wet weather UK ! when you take the lid off nest boxes the rain runs off roof into dry bedding ……. Maybe a small upturn to allow drainage.?

Great video. Thank you. It’s a more refined Solway plastics chicken house (albeit made in Scotland 🏴 from recycled plastic) hate to say it but in our experience the Omlet houses are the best albeit expensive.
We are great friends with Omlet, but unfortunately their plastic coops just aren't big enough for a Buff Orpington to raise a clutch of a dozen chicks in - except perhaps the Cube with a moderate sized clutch.
@@EnglishCountryLife that’s a great point. Amongst ours we have Plymouth Rocks but have always incubated them (and to our buffs come to think of it). Keep up the brilliant videos. 👍
@@richardwilliamson3624 Thanks! We do come at coops from a broody perspective - that also means we prefer low coops as well since tiny chicks can't navigate ladders and struggle with steep ramps. For non-broody coops tall coops are great - much more comfortable to clean out in the wet and give the birds shelter space. It's one of the things we like about the Nestera range - you can choose a high or low format for each coop 🙂
But compare Omlet's coops made from virgin plastic in Asia to a recycled plastic one made in England. Also I think Omlet only give you 2 year warranty when this one is 25 years
@@mad_nice yeah. Sorry I wasn’t trying to be negative about Hugh’s video. I think they said these coops were made in the EU. Solways are made in the Uk so a little closer. I have no idea where omlet coops are made but I do have 10 years experience of them in harsh scottish weather. Albeit as already said, we incubate our chicks and don’t let them hatch ‘naturally’.
Very intriguing. I am very tempted but just have a few questions: 1) Does it leak at the seams in rainy weather? 2) Is there enough ventilation for the birds? 3) Is it suitable in climates where winter temperatures drop to the low teens (Fahrenheit)? I appreciate all the time you put into your videos and thank you ahead of time for taking the time to respond to all of our questions.
Hi Sharon, Hugh here, doesn't leak a drop in torrential downpours. There loads of ventilation at the top of the side walls and two additional adjustable ventilators. Temperatures here get down to 12F in Winter and I would have no concerns. Whereabouts ate you if you don't mind me asking?
We have two wooden coupe and a large netted area with perches mirrors and swings our four buff Orpington will not go in the coups at all any suggestions our thirty hens some go in some don’t I hate to see them getting wet in the rain any suggestions please .
It absolutely does, we've used temperature sensors to to evaluate the thermal performance in both cold and heat . You can see an example here th-cam.com/video/Cg7Ko57D5g8/w-d-xo.html
Any idea how hot these coops get in above 80f.? I haven’t put my Hens in yet . It doesn’t look as insulated as my Omlet, more like plastic sheets. And it’s near 95 in my US state. Will the discount code work for accessories..? I’ve decided to get some wheels and automatic door. Love the pre-drilled holes; I’m no handy person. Thanks for your really good videos.
Hi! Ours performed very well indeed in 100F weather recently and was significantly cooler inside than the outside air temperature.

Im seriously considering getting one of these. We have a metal coop atm, since that seemed easier in maintenance than a wood one for red mite, and it is. But with the years it isnt waterproof anymore, water alwayys gets into the nestbox on the side, where atm 2 cochins are sleeping with their 4 cream legbar chicks at night. The nestbox bottom has rusted through. We patched the hole for now. I was wondering if the nestera is definitely waterproof for heavy rains?

Hi Jeroen - Happy New Year! We have a number of Nestera coops now and really rate them. The talker ones are much easier to clean out on wet days without kneeling on wet grass! They also provide an area underneath for the chickens to shelter if the weather is bad (ours often like to do this in sun too - it gives shade). BUT in our opinion the lower version is much better if you have chicks or broody hens. Chicks don't do well on steep ramps and small chicks cannot manage the ladders at all.

Hi, as a backyard chicken keeper I enjoy your channel and appreciate the effort you put into videos like this, I have a few questions about the Nestera coop, I currently have an Eglu cube which I’m finding to be on the small side for six birds, I have plans to expand my flock to around ten birds with a mixture of Orpington’s and ISA browns, would the large Nestera be spacious enough to accommodate them all if I were to replace the omlet? Also would the door operate with a Titan door opener instead of a chicken guard as the draw string seems to pull slightly sideways as the door opens?
Hi Andrew, The Omlet Cube is 100 X 65cm but a third of that is nest box so call it 4225 square cm not including nest box The Nestera that we are featuring is 82 X 96cm not including the nest box so 7872 square cm Our large coop (made by me) where our breeding flock of ten Orpingtons live is 125cm X 95cm so 11875 square cm. I believe that the Nestera is probably not quite large enough for 10 Orpingtons. Nestera say UP To 8 large birds and I would agree that's a maximum. I have a Titan opener and think it would work okay on the Nestera. The operation and calibration is similar to the ChickenGuard so, whilst I haven't tested it, I can't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps Hugh
Please advise what would be best for 3 buff Orpington hens M or L size thanks as considering buying this coop with special offer thanks for sharing. Can this be use with Omlet door ?
Hi Joshua, the Omlet door won't work on the Nestera coop but they do offer the ChickeGuard. We've used ChickeGuard for many years and never lost a chicken! For three Orpingtons you could get them in to a Medium coop but, personally, I would get the large as it's a small price difference and the large gives luxurious room for your 3 and flexibility for the future. Hope that helps

@@TheGordanasusak They could certainly fit in the medium but the large would give them room to spread out on hot Summer days which they like to do
