Do you put her outside each sunny day? (And if so, do you have a chicken feeder placed outdoors so she can eat?) Also, is the coop clean?

the coop is clean, yes.
i havent put her outside since she hatched.. that might be it
rn ig its winter and it has been snow weather. can you put chickens out in snow? because most days have been snow..
i feed her inside the coop. every day, but should i feed her outside each day AND inside too?

You don't have to, but they're very easy to make and it's reassuring to know they can never accidentally miss their feed by some weird timing in bringing them out or taking them back in or whatever. And putting them outside reduces their stress...I have never had an animal even slightly stressed in ANB before, probably because I put all my animals outside every day that it's not stormy or raining.

Snow doesn't count as rain, so they should go out when it is snowing. Chickens gain 2 points of friendship every two hours they're outside, so you'll go up in hearts a fair bit faster if you're regularly putting them outside.
