mine are roosting, just in the wrong part. they have a fenced, well secure run with roosts and also an actual coop area.
each night they are staying in their run and in the morning when they wake they go into the house to eat - thats where im keeping their food.
i thought they would feel more safe in the house? im worried when the temps get cool again in fall they wont know any better then to go into the house where they are better protected from the elements
heres our coop setup:

should i force them in the house each night? - i have a few times.
