Both of our girls are laying now, but one has taken a liking to any old hidden spot in the garden, which is making it difficult on the days they're let out to roam free! The other one is nice and regular, a first thing in the morning egg-layer.
On a side note, until I discovered that Dottie (the wandering hen) was laying in the garden, I panicked one afternoon when I could not find her for about 15 mins. She usually comes right away as soon as she hears you and no sign of her. I searched the neighbours, our yard, climbed on top of the wood heap, not a sign. I heard a small scratch and discovered her under a thick clump of bushes, she came out loudly clucking - and there was a very clever little nest with three eggs, one just laid!
As for the coop - we bought one on Ebay (new) and I put it together myself. Felt very 'I am woman, hear me roar" spending three hours with a screwdriver and plans.
