Nestera coops and nesting boxes

[Mommameggers]

Has anyone used Nestera coops? They are made from recycled plastic and I just ordered one. Just curious if anyone else has used this product.

Well it was great up until my opener didn’t open and the buttons went in reverse of each other. I have been sending pictures as it will not allow me to send videos. They keep asking me to wind it and send new pictures. Really I have now lost two screws trying to do this. And this has been a 6 month long battle with Nestera. At this point after talking to Omlet owners I really wish I would have gone with one of those. The fence options are better as well. Seriously very frustrated after all the money I spent on this. Cleaning was nice in many regards not going to lie but the trays are flimsy thought they would be a little sturdier. Just sick of getting run around especially with so called 25 year warranty and it’s not like it’s something that I can prevent. I started it and was just changing batteries the buttons literally decided to go haywire. It was not even two years old when this happened. And I built my run around my nestera. I would think twice before purchasing. Or at least inquire what that 25 warranty covers because when you need to really see what’s covered it’s funny how you can’t find it…

Sorry you're having grief, but I think you should distinguish between the coop and electronic door opener. Other people have had trouble with the auto-opener too.

As for the trays, they may appear flimsy, but all mine are still intact and I started with them in 2017 - and that was a second hand coop to boot.

Going forward I would advise you not to let disappointment with the only mechanical part (and an optional extra) colour your judgement of the rest, in particular, the main body and its resistance to mites and lice, the scourge of most other types of coop.
