Usually in the chicken coop. You can often find hens in the barn if they are free range as they will go in there to nest in the loose hay. A quiet dark area is the best place to look.

No. Hens will lay eggs almost anytime. Early morning is when my hens lay most of their eggs. I have had eggs laid well after dark or overnight. egg laying takes place when the hen feels comfortable enough to settle in the nest. Some hens will fall into a routine and lay at the same time daily.
