My Hens Sleeping in the Run - Not the Coop - HELP??!!

[pete123]

Could it be too warm in the coop?

Mine like to sleep on the roosting bars in the run. It is getting colder though so I'm a little worried. I think if they got really cold they would instinctively gather up and keep each other warm, right? This is my first winter with chickens.

Maybe... it depends on your coop size and configuration.
Post pics of coop and run, inside and out.
