We had a sudden cold snap - dropped to -8 with snow and wind. Most of the day our chickens and rooster free range outside and go into the goat house for naps. Today, with the terrible weather the other chickens and rooster stayed in the chicken coop and didnt venture too far from that. Except one chicken...she went into the goat house and refused to go into the coop when it got dark - so she's sleeping with the goats tonight. She is one of 2 chickens that isn't allowed on the top roost. When I checked on the other chickens, tonight, they were all tucked in and the loner chicken was sleeping in a nesting box without her friend there to snuggle with. Should I make her go into the coop or is she fine where she is?
The chickens and goats have a lovely relationship. My momma goat likes to put her nose close to the chickens' backs and it looks like she is gently smelling them...but it puts her to sleep.
