So I have six hens,one rooster and all but one hen go into the coop as the light starts to fade. However Henrietta seems to think it's a better idea to sleep on the wood pile against the wall under the deck by herself. Every night after counting my flock I have to walk across the yard to pick her up from the wood pile and bring her to the coop. Our rooster Lars can't relax until all the girls are accounted for and I don't want him roosting on top of the coop. I've never seen her bullied and there is more than enough room for everyone in the coop which is always clean and comfortable. Has anyone else had this happen? Should I just get used to the nightly ritual of taking her back to the safety of the coop?
