    Hurricane flipped coop, now chickens wont sleep in nesting area at night.

    They dont free range at night. Only during the day. When darkness falls they go into the run and I lock the door. It's just they would rather sleep on the cold ground in the run instead of go in their heated nesting area at night now that the storm has past.

    Hurricane flipped coop, now chickens wont sleep in nesting area at night.

    Thank you for the reply! However I'm unable to get close without them waking because of the coop set up. I have However been picking them up and putting them in. But they just keep coming out. It hasn't helped yet. Should I not l et them free range for a few days? What else would you suggest?
