There is no set time of day a chicken will lay an egg. Some prefer morning while others will lay just prior to roosting in the evening. A small upset/fight in the yard can effect the time of day/night the bird will lay also. Frightened hens will put off laying for hours past their normal laying time if anything disturbs them.
