No - but I always make sure that the doors on the coops are shut at night.
As well as the opening on the run.
We've had problems with new-to-us hens, where we've had to physically put a
hen inside but they quickly learn. Our new little hen stayed out on Saturday
night when we came home from a party and couldn't find her in the dark.
She's not done it since, little blighter!
