You say the coop is lit with a heat lamp for warmth. Did she quit going in before or after you started using the heat lamp? Was wondering if the addition of the lamp spooked her or maybe she's too warm. My girls won't sleep with the light on and will make noise until I turn it off. So funny as the noise quits immediately.
Chickens are funny, fickle creatures and trying to figure them out gives me a headache!
Well, it's just the back room of the coop that has the heat lamp. The front of the coop where they come in at isn't lit and so she could stay in there if she were too warm or didn't like the light. The opening to the back part of the coop that's lit, is small enough that a minimal amount of light gets through so it stays dark. And she likes to go into the back, lit part of the coop to roost. So, you're right- funny, fickle creatures for sure!
