3. Assembly and Setup
The NESTERA chicken coop features a modular design for straightforward assembly. While specific step-by-step instructions are provided with the product packaging, the general process involves connecting the pre-fabricated plastic panels to form the main structure, attaching the roof, and installing the internal components such as perches and nesting boxes.
Ensure the coop is placed on a level surface in a secure location, protected from extreme weather and potential predators. The design allows for easy disassembly if relocation or deep cleaning is required.

4. Operation
The coop is designed for daily use by your chickens. The front door, reinforced with a rotating metal slide, provides secure access for your flock. The nesting boxes are easily accessible for egg collection.
Adjustable ventilation points allow you to control airflow within the coop, ensuring optimal temperature regulation throughout the year. In colder months, chickens are tolerant of cold due to their insulation, while in warmer months, the UV-resistant roof helps keep the interior cool.
