Yes Hobby, if they are penned all the time I would keep feed in there for them, they need something to do. How big is your pen and how many chickens? They would also enjoy some grass and greens too. Fruit, things to pick on.
You do not really need to let chickens free range but I find they are much happier and the eggs are better. If you do not have the best neighbors then don't ask for trouble UNLESS they like chickens???????
