i have 4 new chickens, ive had them for just over a week.
i had chickens before, but these chickens wont sleep in the coop!
they go in to lay but at night they cuddle together on the roosting bar outside.
they have a roosting bar inside where my last chickens slept.
i was thinking that maybe it was because when i got the new chickens i had one older chicken, who didnt like the new ones and pecked at the them.
For the first few days we put them in the coop at night with the old chicken, maybe they were scared and dont want to go back in?
i dont really know what to do? or if its even a problem, i just dont want them to be cold!
solutions anyone?? please and thank you.
