Well I don't have but three eggs but I've been getting one out of each of them this whole month. Sure wish I knew someone that wanted to trade me a hen for a rooster. I have 3 roos and don't want but one.

We have 6 laying hens and get 6-9 eggs a day

What time do you let the hens out in the morning to the run/yard??

 

[sueg3041]

Normally around 7am, though sometimes between 7 and 8am.

Girls have been doing good lately and started laying again 3/3 yesterday and 2/3 for the few days before

How much roosting space do 4 BO hens need ???

If one's birds are laying 5-7 eggs a week, they'll lay 80% or more by 10 AM. The rest will come periodically throughout the day. If they aren't laying that consistently, perhaps more will come in the morning.
It takes 26 hours to build an egg and ovulation usually doesn't happen for a while after the egg is laid so they'll be a bit later every day until they skip a day because they won't lay at night. All the rest of the eggs in the assembly line will come first thing in the morning for up to 12 days till they start coming later in the day. Time of year will make a difference but this is why so many people think all their eggs are laid in the morning, It's because most are.

I'm very new to raising chickens. Just started in March. I have a RIR hen that hasn't missed a day this entire month. Most of her eggs did come before 10am but a few after 2pm . Should she have missed a day? I also have a mild case of cerebral pawlsey that affects my reading sometimes. So please forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what you wrote. But I think that from the way that I read it that my hen should've missed a day or so?
