Chicken Coop Questions

[Malhyun]

I'm going to build my first coop, the wiki says that i can just open the chicken gate all the time unless bad weather. So do i need to pen the coop with grass inside the pen or can i just make a pasture field beside the coop? Will the chicken automatically goes back to the coop in the evening?

I would build a silo before making a coop, since if u don't have it, u eventually will have to pay for the cereals for their food

the chickens will automatically go back in coop at night, during the day if they can reach grass just be sure to make a silo before winter, and cut grass to get hay.

i already have the silo. i just wanted to know if the chicken automaically goes back to the cop in the evening? or do i need to pen the coop in case my chicken get stuck into some bug in the farm or something?
