You should keep them shut in for a couple of days when you first get them. This way they learn where they sleep. It's not to late to do this though so don't let them out tomorrow or the next day and put a little food and water inside the house. You will find they will then return to the house at bedtime quite naturally after that.

Congrats on getting your girls by the way.

I find that they put themselves to bed as it is getting dark, so only have to go up there and lock them in.
