do they go in their coop by themselves at night? If they do, you can let them out. They know where to return to. When I let my girls out and I want them to go back in early, I just walk behind them with my arms out and herd them in the direction of their run. They go right in no problem. They won't wander too far and they LOVE the freedom! Let them out and enjoy watching them!
