I have a fenced in yard with a 6 foot tall fence. I am looking to get started with some egg laying chickens, minimal at this point . Do I have to build a pen or could I let them roam the yard while not in the coup? Will they stay in the yard?

I am looking to get a chicken to take care of bugs in my 100 sf garden , will grow to 200 sf in the future. I am on about 1 acre and have 1/2 available for the chicken. How many chickens do I need to keep this as low maintenance as possible?
