Sudden reluctance to go outside

[aart]

Oh, a week is pretty new...probably partially acclimation to a new place, good that they are sheltering in the coop.
How old are they?

 

[philyc]

All are 8-9 months. Just was a little disgruntled because they were outside all the time before yesterday

Chickens are fickle...
....as long as there's plenty of room inside, nothing wrong with them being inside.
You want them to be comfortable.

 

[philyc]

Cool. They seem happy i suppose. Just a change from what they used to do. Now just hoping they give me a few eggs through winter to keep my wife happy haha

 

[aart]

Were they laying for who ever you got them from?
The move to a new place may put them off laying anywhere from days to weeks.

 

[philyc]

All three were. We had one egg two days ago from one of the pekins.

I do know not to expect eggs now probably untill spring, my wife doesn't understand completely though.
