Make sure you provide your chickens with a roost inside their coop. Close them in for a couple of days and get rid of the roost outside. If you can use their outside roost and modify it to fit inside your coop that might be best. Also chickens are great at adjusting to cold weather as long as they can stay dry inside the coop.It's starting to get cold outside and I can't get my chickens to use my coop. I literally moving them from the roost outside to the inside coop each night and locking them in. Help? Do I need to take away their roost, that is there where they are hanging out, it starting to get near freezing. This is my first winter with chickens, so I'm getting a little anxious about this, I'm stressing my husband out.
any help.
