My Peas would rather sleep out side then in, Normal?

Rain or snow, mine don't seem to care, they want to sleep outside.

Joe, Your enclosure, though well protected, well ventilated, and very comfortable, Your peas did not like it, too much enclosed, too secluded does not look integrated with free open roaming area., can not find a way for an easy and safe escape, in case of a predator attack, Mine go inside in situations of unusual weather, simply because one side is completely open (only 3 sides and top enclosed.), for their free passage, air and ventilation and light.in and out and they can see,and scan the entire area all the time for any approaching danger if any.They may think that they are going into a prison. or a trap. This is only my opinion,not to put you down in any way.

They will roost inside during the day, I have not had them in this pen in real cold eather so come winter they may sleep inside, I'll have to wait and see.

Ours like to sleep outside also. I used to worry when the roosts inside were empty. If its not raining, they're all outside.

my male sleep inside the coop but it is the female which is stuborn to sleep inside

Speaking of stubborn, my big male had an inch of snow on his back and train this morning. He sat out in a mini blizzard that came through. He was perched in the barn when I saw him.

My oldest male Master P has been sleeping up on the side of the brooder pen that is 6 foot off the ground, we have been having terrible winds and i guess he was having troubles with that hudge train so he has decided to roost where he had some stability, good thing the dogs are in this area

his train is about 3 foot from the ground where he is roosting.

My IB male doesn't roost with the rest of them, It used to be my IB and my IBBS male would sleep on the ground together, no the BS Roosts with the rest and my IB stay on the ground by him self, I never see him even try to fly, this was even before I clipped his Flights on the one side because of a injury.

Would a 3 sided shed be enough shelter for them in winters that can get in the single digits?
