The coop isn't large enough to put a crate inside and I'm not crazy about leaving her in the run overnight even in a crate but it's looking like this may be necessary. I've had to physically pick her up and put her into the coop at night hoping she would be over it in the mornings, but she...

I actually have a second small 2'x3' wooden crate I built to act as a second coop for times when a chicken needs to be isolated. There is a small run (4'x4') attached with another door to the big run. I can keep that closed. This smaller coop is also able to be locked at night to protect...
