Chicken won't go into coop at night

I know from my experience some chickens prefer to sleep out of the coop on a roost in the hot and humid months depending on where you are located I have 8 hens and a rooster that prefer to do this instead of go into the coop at night
 
I have 2 long legs and they don't like to go into the coop at night , all the rest of my chickens do I have 8 hens and 1 rooster
What's a "long leg"?

What ages(in months) are these birds?
Have they always lived together?

How big is coop, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help immensely here.

I'm in Louisiana and it's very hot here , our coop is pretty big has 2 huge hatchets on each end . We also have a fan blowing into the coop. Do you just leave yours out of the coop ? Ours is very secure so nothing can get in other then snakes ,rats very small things .
