Also at night time all chickens sleep. They def will not be breeding, they go docile as soon as it gets to dusk. so the rooster will not be jumping on the hens to breed them at that time.
Unless you have lights, to give them extra daylight hours.
We don't have lights in our coops as I like them to have rest according to the seasons daylight hours but some who have chooks just for the eggs do add lights. Jane & co
