My chickens are fed through an automatic feeder (i.e. a pvc pipe that has a bend at the bottom that I fill from the top), but I go outside every morning to either feed them a treat (smashed up hard boiled egg, oatmeal, etc.) or just to check on them. I usually go out between 8 and 9 am. The last two mornings though, I've been going outside around 6 am, and I wondered if I fed them earlier, would they lay earlier? I don't even know if that has anything to do with when they lay...just wondering!
