Hello everyone! I am new to chickens so kind of learning as I go. My chickens are about 8 weeks old and I moved them out to their coop Sunday night. They have gotten the hang of roosting, but it is on the one that is outside in the run and not the one inside the coop where I would like them to be at night. I don't know if it even matters where they roost, but should they be inside?? If it doesn't matter I will leave them be. At this point in time I am waiting until it is dark and moving them all into the coop and putting them on the roosting bar. Should I continue to do this until they do it on their own or leave them be. I guess my main concern is that they will roost outside in the winter as well if I let the behavior continue. Thanks for any suggestions!!
