Bantie in tree

[Birdygirl]

Help! One of my Banties has decided over the last 2 days to roost at night in a tree about 20 ft high.
She came down the night before to go into her house,... but she has been up there since yesterday evening and she is still sitting there this morning. We have tried to cajole her out with food, another bantie, she just won't budge..worried about dehydration, predators, etc.
Any advice??
Thank you all!
Brenda

Mine have done that before......they come down when they want to! Have you tried throwing some scratch or cracked corn on the ground?

Thanks!
I will try that next time...she finally came down about an hour ago...but why after a year she has decided she wants to be up in that tree?lol

There might've been something in the coop that frightened her...or someone was trying to shake up the pecking order.
