Chickens Won't Sleep in the Coop - They Want To Sleep In The Run!

[amp1999]

I live in Arizona and all summer long I let them sleep in the enclosed run on high roosts, every winter it gets pretty cold here in the high desert so I have to remove the roosts and make them sleep inside the hen house. It's a pain and it confuses them at first but I feel better they are protected from the cold and wind, early this year it got down to 15 degrees!

Went out tonight to check on them when it started to get dark and all 4 were upstairs huddled together sound asleep
