New pullet, lock in coop or free range with others?

[beccawchick]

We got a new pullet today, about 3 months old. All our pullets are 3 month old bantam cochins.
I have new girl locked in the coop/small run so she knows where "home" is. However, the rest of my girls are out free ranging all day.
I worry about new girl being alone all day. If I let her free range, will she follow my existing girls who already know to come in at night?
What should I do?

yes she can come out.but she may run away if she is not ok with her home.
