My birds rarely use the coop for night roosting and prefer sitting on the roof. Even when temps hovered around zero I’d find these three hens outside. I started putting them in and shutting the door. Now that temps have risen to about freezing I’ve let them stay outside to roost on the poles or roof. None of my previous chickens exhibited this behavior. Is this odd? They are laying well and are otherwise pretty normal chickens.
The coop has water and a feeder inside and lights are on until 10 pm.
