New to chickens and BYC

I too, was wondering about the dynamics inside the coop. Is she being bullied, or maybe the rooster pestering her - what could cause her to desire being away from the others. It's too bad you can't lock her in and have a game cam or similar camera to record what goes on when the door is shut.

For my peace of mind and her life, I would get her into the coop every night.

They have all been roosting inside until just recently, so I assume there is enough room. She does not show any signs of being picked on and I have not seen any pecking at her during the day. I did lose one orp from being pecked at until she was bleeding and I had to take her away from the rest of the chickens. I don't have a rooster, but do have R I red that can be aggressive and the red went after the other orp until she bled and I removed her.

Welcome to BYC - good luck with getting her to roost inside - outside she is vulnerable to predation.
