do they lay eggs at night?

still waiting for our first one and think i heard they only lay during the day. seems like if that egg wants out it will come out. any night layers out there?

Chickens do not lay at night. They roost and don't start laying until daylight. Now that could be pretty early. They can lay any time during the day. I always thought they laid at night and you collected eggs in the morning. No--they lay all day and you probably should collect eggs twice a day or more during really hot or really cold weather.
