It's easy to tell when a hen needs to lay an egg. She will usually get very vocal (not the egg song), and she will seem to have a sense of urgency. She may act distracted and pace back and forth while she scolds and chatters. Those are usually the obvious ones. Yours may be more discrete.
Most hens will prefer to lay at certain times of the day, and you'll get to know when that is for your hen. Make the nest available, and even if she gets into the nest before you can remove the diaper, you'll have time before she lays the egg.
