Return the Chickens
Return the chickens to the coop with the mealworms that are located in the metal bin outside of the coop.
Pro-Tips: If you are with other family members, it helps to have the others stand behind the chickens and say "MEALWORMS" to sweep them toward the coop.
As a last resort, you may have to catch and carry them inside.
