What time of day do your Hens Lay? - Page 6

I've got one wellsumer that lays between 7 and 8.  The rest lay before noon, mostly.  Occasionally they'll lay later in the afternoon, but not later than 3 or so.

Home made incubator, up and running and in it's test phase. It's DY-NO-MITE!

Chicken math, because story problems are hard

Ours lay mostly before 10, but we do get one holdout that will go to 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

I really hope they are not laying at 12AM for it would be under the roost.

Really early. 5-6AM, as soon as the sun is up really. We used to be able to watch them lay around 9 or 10 in the morning, but they've obviously decided they want to be early birds. lol.png
