Hi and welcome to BYC :frow We're so happy you've decided to join us:ya Once you get them in the coop keep them there a few days with food and water so they learn that is their new safe place. It will make it easier to get them to return in the future.

Welcome to BYC. Attach a large run to your 'two chicken' coop. Catch the hens at night while they are roosting.

try not to shine the light on them. approach from behind and grasp them around the mid section to keep their wings from flapping. They'll be in a trance like state after dark.
 
Hi Zooman. Usually prefab chicken coops are a bit undersized, but if it's for 2 chickens, it's going to be way too small for any more than that. Use the coop as nesting space, sleeping space, and get some extra wire to attach a run, so they won't be overcrowded.
