I like to keep mine shut in until i'm sure they are done laying for the day. Once they get in a habit of laying inside they will return to the pen to lay even if they run loose outside. It's a good idea to train them right at first , if not you may find eggs all over the barnyard. Then it's hard to break them of that habit. Mine run outside all summer but now I keep them penned until mid- afternoon.
