Seemes the lighter it gets, the earlier they will lay - mine are normally done by about 10. Can be midday or later in the winter thoough.

Well mine start at about 8....... by 10 they can all be sitting in the one nest box (we have 3 nest boxes but only the 1 will do!!!!)  Then they finish by about 3ish???

I usually have eggs by 10.30 but a couple of hens lay later, after lunch.  I think they develop their own routine but mornings are the most likely time

My three lay anytime between 9am and about 1pm.   Sometimes two lay early and one a bit later, in which case the later egg is usually a large one.   Two of mine always go in the nest box together!   From three hens, I'm getting one egg from each chicken, 5 days out of seven and an egg each from 2 of the hens on the remaining two days.   Occasionally, one of them will lay a soft shelled egg as well, either very early or late in the day - is this normal?   Any one know when and how often I should worm my hens?

Most of mine lay in the afternoon. I usually collect eggs at 4pm.

A chicken will lay every 25 hrs on average.
