    Girls are roosting outside just when it starts getting cold? Help!

    Hey Anon, I’ve asked Frost Ranger and RoseMaryandThyme this as well: One of them or more- I found three eggs- laid the day before or yesterday. Is there any correlation between first time laying and not going into the coop?
