Guess you'll just have to wait & see George. I'm sure you'll let us know! 
I've never monitored ours as closely as that, so it would be interesting to find out just how regular they are. |

We'll pretend we never heard/read Nigel's comment!!
My Bluebelle lays at 9.30 everyday, and the Maran was at 4pm, but has brought it forward hourly, she now lays around 11!! ( o'clock that is, not eggs) each day is the same. |

I dare not add to Nigel's comment for fear of being stung up by my little toes ! 
I think when they get into a rythem of laying they tend to lay at the same time (after all the natural body clock is reset every day )
Just curious, so will definately watch out today and see if she does, though, knowing my luck, she'll skip today anyway.
You know me, I like to know these things  |

Well, that didn't work, I've just given her a serious chat though, about laying in the nest box rather than the run
She was messing about with the pot eggs in there 
Just hope she takes note ! |

| maybe she went in to lay the next egg and found the pot ones and thought they were hers ~ so decided she must have already done the job for today and had forgotten. |

| lol, maybe she will lay tomorrow. She must have a bit of a shock yesterday! It might have been a case of 'where the **** did that come from?' |

Ah well, as the saying goes - never count your chickens, or rely on them to be regular!  (OK, I made that one up! ) |

Oh sorry, should have said, she did lay an egg, but in the hutch, she had a look in the nest box several times and kept turning her beak up at it, then wandered around the garden for a while, then stood looking at the hutch.
So, I thought, I'd leave the door open and see if she prefered that, and she made a nice little nest in the back and laid there
Bless her |
