We really think so! We've not received a single report of a fox getting into one of our Aspen coops. Our ‘chew-resistant’ coops are made from 70% recycled plastic which is really tough, and the ventilation holes are far too small for a fox.

Unfortunately, nothing is 100% red mite-proof. However, Nestera 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 70% 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 70% 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.

We have different models and size available. The Aspen model is existing in 2 sizes for 6 or 10 hens. We invite you to look to our House, Lodge, Penthouse or Wagon for chicken coops with different sizes.

Absolutely! The Aspen coop is compatible with our new Smart Auto Door. We offer the Nestera Smart Auto Door as an optional extra with the Aspen coops (not compatible with the classic coops).

Most people manage to successfully assemble their Aspen coop in well under an hour. You certainly don’t need to be a DIY expert! We provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions with every chicken coop.
