How far does you flock range? Mine forage about a roughly 2 acre patch where linear distances from point to point push 800 feet. The flock easily walks away and out of sight of nest site within a few minutes.
Ours range farther than that but they don't necessarily all stay together, there are almost always
some in the barn and around the next boxes, and ours usually lay in the late morning when the flock is still in the barn for the most part.
I am assuming you have what I call sub-flocks, each led a by a different rooster. Egg-laying by my hens at roughly 25-hour intervals so timing tends to set back by about an hour each day. Not all hens on same schedule either.
