Chickens will naturally go home to roost about half an hour before dark. If you leave a light on in the coop they will wander in and settle down all by themselves. All you need to do is go in after dark and lock them down for the night. Time means nothing to the hens, its all about the ability to see and as dusk approaches they seek shelter.
