They should. Free range chickens can wander quite far from home searching for food.
The occasional hen will wander too far but a good rooster will call her back to the flock.
As long as they are not attacked by a predator they will usually come back to the coop well before nightfall. It is best to allow new additions to the flock a chance to figure out that the coop is where they roost at night before allowing them to free range. Offering them a little food just at dusk will reinforce their desire to come home when the sun goes down and not seek shelter elsewhere.
