Chickens not roosting on roosting bars

3 out of 4 were roosted tonight
You might put larger roosts, they should be at least 2" in width.

Did you actually check if the windows are letting in draft, or did you close up the windows because you feel it's cold?
I don't think they are operable windows, jut a hole covered with HC
 
Nice looking coop but yes you need more ventilation than those tiny vents in the back can provide. And light as well - you have those nice windows but they can't provide light if they're covered up.

Did you actually check if the windows are letting in draft, or did you close up the windows because you feel it's cold? If there's little to no draft there's no reason to close up or cover the windows, even in winter. My top roost sits directly between two windows but I very rarely need to close them, as there's usually no issue with drafts as they don't face predominant wind directions.
Thanks! Yeah the windows are just openings covered with hardware cloth. Then we made slides with a piece of plywood to close when it got cold. One roost is in a draft the other are not.
