When I started letting mine free-range (on my nights off), that's what I would do. I'd heard they would go back by themselves, but being skeptical, I started letting them out about an hour or so before dusk. Without fail, they all return to roost. Now they get most of the day to range when I'm off and it's the perfect opportunity to get the cleaning done!
X3 now mine free range all day, I only have 4 and only a 4ft fence. If yours have been going in the coop from the run that shouldn't change. Mine go in before it gets too dark.
