My bantam South Blue D'Anver rooster has been sleeping on top of the coop and not roosting at night since I got him this summer, and it wasn't a huge problem since the weather had been nice this summer, but now it's becoming winter and it snows and freezes at night. Last year one of my Polish roosters got horrible frostbite from roosting outside and lost all of his toes, so I had to cull him to put him out of his misery.
I think my D'Anver, Minty, is sleeping outside because the rest of the chickens bully him to not being allowed in the coop. How could I stop him or get him to go into the coop? I don't want him to get frostbite and end up like my Polish rooster...
