I do not post on this forum very often but I am kind of at a loss at my chicken behavior and I was hoping for some advice.
I built my coop in my barn with a roost nest boxes and feeder and the girls were roosting at night without issue. I recently put a roost in there run so they could roost during the day. They love it so much that they don't roost in there coop at night at all and it has been rainy and even down to 20 degrees and they still roost at night out in the run. They are laying eggs and go in during the day to eat but at night they are outside. Is this something I should worry about as it gets colder? Should I pull the roost down to make them go in?
Any thoughts from those with more experience than I is appreciated.
Thank you much.
