Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I would suggest if your hens are wandering around that you get or build them a run to keep them confined. With keeping them in they should realise where home is. The only real way to stop them is by having them securely fenced in. It's a chickens natural instinct to wander and roam. The coop section has some lovely ideas, here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coop_Designs

Wishing you the very best of luck in the future and enjoy BYC

Keeping them in a covered run will also help protect from predators.
