Inexperienced question on pastured layers

If I run two different pastured layer eggmobiles within the same area surrounded by say two poultry nets, will the birds return to their respective eggmobiles, or am I making a problem for myself with them favouring one over another possibly?

In theory they will return to their respective roosts. Daughter wants to try this but I fear in such a restricted area they'll end up in 1 heap, so interested in anyone having done this.
Thinking about it, seeing how a sizeable minority of my neighbour's 400 odd seemed to end up in other sheds when given completely free range, I'd be pretty dubious.
Whether it's a problem is another question though I guess.
