I don't know if she felt safe. She's the oldest bird. I noticed she's the last to eat. Whenever I toss something in, she stays back. I haven't seen any of them peck her. I put her in the coop and there were two empty nesting boxes with a lot of straw. The others roost when the weather is warmer. She's the last holdout. We have a small coop with nesting boxes. This is attached to a larger pen that I can walk into. This larger pen has the roosts. She sits on the highest perch. I thought this had something to do with pecking order. She being the "matron".

Are there perches inside the coop?
