Hens lay based off of how warm it is so it realy dependswhere you are. If you wake up in the morning and the hens have laid that does not mean that they lay because it is dark but, it just means it is the perfect time for laying.

Hens will lay their eggs anywhere it is quiet and out of the way. If nesting boxes are provided in the chicken coop, the hens will lay in there among the straw or woodchips you provide. If your hens are free range and do not have nesting boxes in the coop you will need to look in dark areas of the barn, behind bushes or just about anywhere.
