I just went out to check on my hens, it's 11:00.
Found my favorite girl just hanging out in the doorway to the coop (inside the run).
Picked her up and onto the perch. She just jumped down and went back out.

She has been sleeping in the nesting box lately, so then I tried to put her in there.
Back out again.

It was HOT today. Could it just be the heat???
Worried...
 
Turn off what ever light you have running, she thinks it's still daytime.

Don't let them sleep in the nests, they poop at night.

You be surprised how some chickens sleep at night. I have an IR camera in the coop and there always seem to be someone is standing or have their eyes open. I'm in the country and it's dead silent.
 
There is no light.
She is one of my first flock and has always slept on her roost. This is unusual.
