Mingling Chickens?

[FeathersFur]

My chicks are almost old enough to move into the coop, and I plan on free ranging them. However, my neighbor also has free range chickens, and I am worried about my chicks possibly learning to go home with her chickens at night instead of returning to the coop. I live on a mountain, so the slope blocks the view of the other chickens. I tried to make sure that my coop's location would be far enough from the neighbors and have multiple barriers between us so that they shouldn't meet up too often, but is there a chance my chicks will decide that the neighbor's coop is their home?

Very slight possibility. I have up to 8 or 9 flocks at times and parts of the year they all free range at the same time. They always go back to sleep where they've always slept. On rare occasions I might get a stray hen in a different building but it's always a shock when it happens.
Lock them in the coop a few days and once they are in the habit of sleeping there, they always will.
