The adage "Chickens Must Have 14 Hours Of Light" simply cannot be correct. Chickens nearer to equator never get 14 hours of light, yet are prolific. From about the Tropic of Cancer down to the Equator and then on down to about the Tropic of Capricorn, the days are virtually 12 hours, year 'round. Hawaii never gets 14 hours of light, for example, IIRC.
That 14 hour thing must have come from some study by the commercial, industrial folks as to maximizing or ramping up production, or similar. But the axiom get repeated here far too often as if it were gospel, and it is not. No offense intended to anyone.
