Typically, yes, as long as they recognize the coop as their home. How long have they been in their coop?

4 weeks

That should be long enough. If it were me, I would try letting them out a few hours before dusk and keeping an eye on them to make sure they go back where they should. Doing it at that time gives them less time to wander too far.
