Laying time

[Skipcurt]

As this is my first go 'round with chickens I was wondering if there is typically a normal egg laying time. Normally first thing in the morning, mid morning, noon, mid day or late day. I'm gonna expect the answers are all over the place but was wondering if any time is more frequent than others.

I’ve got 30 layers, most lays between 8am to 4pm with some occasional deviants

So pretty much any time of day.

Yup , they do what they want to do ..when they want to do it!

Mine are done by 4 pm

I check at 8 am when I clean
I check at 1 pm when I give the slop bucket treats
And 4 pm ,

20 layers give us :
3-4 at 8am
4-5-at 1 pm
4-5 -at 4 pm

They are not machines

Mine don't lay at the same time every day. My BRs are on about a +/- 26 hour schedule. For example, if one hen lays at 9:30 one day, the next day she'll lay about 11:30, 1:30 the next, 3:30 the next and then take at least a day, sometimes two off, then lay early again. The cycle then repeats.
