Need advice with older hen

[The chicken nurd]

So this week it’s supposed to snow here and drop into the teens my chickens run and coop is sheltered and dry so they should be fine but I have one hen she’ll be turning 10 this spring
I’m just worried about her in the cold weather so I was planning on bringing her in the house for a few days I doubt the temperature will stay that low for very long
Anyone have any advice or experience with this should I bring her inside or leave her in the coop
Thanks

You could just keep an eye on her a bring in if struggling or you can be cautious and watch tv with chick inside whichever makes you feel better

A chicken separated from her flock will be a lonely and unhappy bird -- which could start a decline, especially if it affects her position in the pecking order.

If she's dry and can get out of the wind she should be fine out in the coop and run.

As long as she is sheltered from the wind and snow she will be fine outside despite her age. I have chickens that will be 10 and 11 years old in the spring. I keep them with the rest of the flock regardless of the weather and I live where winters are cold and snowy. They have a draft free coop and a run that is covered in plastic (the top is open for ventilation) and they do fine on even the coldest of days.

Chickens rather hate change. I think it might be very upsetting for her to move into a new place.

If she is going to be 10, you and her have had a good run for the money. Any time could be her last days, and I think she would be happier where she is.
