Chickens will lay at all times of the day. They seldom lay in the dark. Some hens will lay first thing in the morning but I have many hens that lay their eggs just after they come back into the chicken coop at dusk.

I have two young female ducks living on a pond. They made a nest in the weeds along the bank and lay eggs at night or early morning before the sun comes up. I typically get one egg a day from the two of them. They have been doing this since August (it is now late September).
