As far as my school teachings went the word is 'laid'. In English there is no such word as 'layed'. Even the spellchecker doesn't recognise layed.

Layed is an archaic version of the past tense of lay ..... look it up, it is not as accepted, but seems to be making a reappearance. Only time will tell.

Sorry, but 'layed' is not in the Oxford English Dictionary. See Here.

It used to be laid but who knows now, there are words being added to the Oxford English dictionary that shouldn't be there (imho!) Saying that, we have a Christmas Fayre every year to raise funds for church and we still use that spelling although I've had people ask why! (It's the Old English) P.S. I never knew hens could be so interesting
