Sometimes it's a rodeo if I need to round them up early, otherwise they all go back to the coop about 40 minutes before sundown, the young ones sometimes wait until nearly dark, but as they mature they start going in sooner, I just go out after dark and put the ramp door close for the night. I am also lucky that there's a corner to chase them into, but the buggers can run.
My large fowl have no run, so a few years ago when a coyote came calling he was able to get ten of them before we got him, in the distance future I plan to build a large fenced in area. But I have donkeys right now in the shed and they keep things from coming into the shed.
