I'd be interested to know from anyone who keeps chickens whether
it's OK to leave them occasionally to put themselves to bed if the
fencing is good enough to keep foxes etc out.

Yes they do go safely home themselves especially if the food hopper if you
use one and the water is inside. That said it's best to put the feeder
outside mostly otherwise they will stay near it and not get out as much as
they otherwise would
