Most hens get into a routine when laying eggs. Often the best time to collect eggs is about one hour before sunset since most hens will have completed the laying process for that day. If there is a hen sitting on a nest just move her to collect any eggs already under her and move to the next next looking for eggs. Always check all dark, quiet areas in the chicken coop as the hens do not always use the nesting boxes. Collect eggs at least once per day and use the float test when there is any doubt about when the egg was laid.
