My bantam hens are horrible layers. One hen literally lays an egg a month when she feels like it. The other one lays one every other day, then will go a week with nothing.
My large fowl girls are different. They lay an egg every day in the same place with no fuss. In fact I moved one of my splash hens to another pen, recently. She rooted around saw where everyone else was laying and laid an egg within a hour.
