Will chickens come out of the cold on their own?

Will chickens come out of the cold on their own? They've been roosting outside for the all summer and now its cold, but they still roost outdoors. Should I remove these roosts to make them come inside to roost?

when the go to roost at night, give them time to settle in then grab them and put them on the other roosts. do this for up to a week and they should get used to it.

If possible remove the roosts before it gets dark and put them back in the morning. Usually in less than a week they will choose to sleep inside. Likely the first night or so you will need to put them onthe roosts yourself.
