You really don’t have to herd them…they’ll put themselves back in every night when it starts getting dark.
When they are little and getting used to it, they might need a reminder…but as long as I leave the door open for them when they free range, they find their way back to the coop.
They also don’t wander too far. They’ve got a few social gathering spots in the yard but they never really jump the fence. Last time it happened was because the coop door blew shu before she could get in and she was trying to find shelter for the night.
