Put the chickens up

Hi

I don't know if I'll be home tonight. Don't hold dinner; put the chickens up.

--- Does it mean "don't wait for me with dinner and put the chickens back to the fridge/oven"?

Yes, I think so, too.

The chickens will go to their roosts on their own when night begins to fall. You have to make sure they are all accounted for and fasten the door of the coop securely.
