Thought I'd set up a poll to get better results!

I've put between 8am and 10am but Opal is the only one laying She is getting slightly earlier though. Ruby used to lay first thing, sometimes before 6am and Pearl (RIP) would lay in the afternoon! I bet that's as clear as mud now!

[Egluntyne]

Mine lay throughout the day, from first thing to late afternoon, so none of your options fit my hens.

[Cooks]

Iagree with Egluntine, I cant fit into one option as mine tend to lay throughout the morning sometimes (only rarely at the moment) laying into the afternoon.

I've put between 6am and 8am.

 

Only Lily is laying at the moment. Her egg is usually pooey if laid in the nestbox, I can't seem to get out early enough to change the paper in the nestbox before she lays. If bubbles has roosted in the nestbox Lily's egg can be found on the roosting bars.

ours lay when they feel like it, can be anything between 7am and 5pm

[Ms Marple]

I agree with Egluntine. I know who lays what and when but each lays during a separate part of the day

[chooklady]

The majority of mine lay by 11am but definately the 2 younger ones lay in the afternoon mostly.

Throughout the day - None of them seem to have a specific time slot. Whenever the urge takes them. Anytime between 6.30am to 5.30 pm.

Gertie has a cycle of about 26 hours, laying a little later each day until she lays one latish afternoon, then misses a day and the next day is in the morning again. Flo has only laid 3 eggs so far all at about 10am.

I can't tick any boxes because mine lay throughout the day. At the moment Annie doesn't lay until about 5pm but next week she might lay first thing in the morning.
