I first let mine out of the coop about 30 minutes before dusk a couple times. It seems that they will naturally go back in at dusk.
Then after they go back in a couple times succesfully I let them out earlier, usually late in the afternoon. They have a large outside pen
that is safe from hawks and such for the daytime and go back into the coop for the night. But I do let them outside the pen sometimes just
for something different.
