    I would clip one of her wings so that when she attempts to fly it's an awkward off balance no flying situation for her, she won't be able to go up there if she can't fly up there. If she is roosting up there at night she could get attacked by an owl. She needs to be in the coop at night.

There are a lot of people who don't want to brood them and want to buy feathered out started pullets ready for the coop. I...
