I have had my chickens for 9 months. They have been doing great laying eating in and out of there Coop no problem like clockwork. But then last week we had our first snow of the season it was very cold and snowy I left them in the coop during the storm. When the weather got nicer the next day I opened the coop and now they don't seem to want to come out they come out to eat and drink and go right back in the coop even in 70 degree weather.since I am new to this is there a problem or something I should be worried about
 
They're probably very confused since snow can be a scary thing, so they're acting like there's something out there to get them and staying hidden inside. You can try luring them out with some favorite treats, or if they're trained, you can probably just call them out even without treats.

Unless there's a reason for it there's no need to lock them in during a snowfall, let them decide for themselves. No harm in letting them out in snow though they may choose to avoid it.
