    hens started to lay

    I have read that a 40w bulb is sufficient and they need at least 12 hours of light. I put a 40 watt bulb in my heat lamp because I dont have any chicks to keep warm right now. I just hung it up in my coop and it runs from 6 am til about 9 at night.

    If you do it at night it should be fine.

    When to introduce new chicks?

    I introduce new chickens to the group at night. Slip them in the coop while the gangs all asleep. It really helps. The pecking order will still need to be established but it shouldn't be as bad!

    Winter laying?

    Are you keeping a light on them for at least 12 hours a day? That'll help.

    Which breed of chicken is at the top of your flock (pecking order)

    My Jersey Giant. She's only 8 months old but bigger and tougher than the rest! They bow down.

    Is it cruel to have chickens if they can't free range?

    I let mine free range for about 2 years but after losing so many to random dogs and other predators I built a run. They are just as happy in their run and I'm happy because they're safe! I give them leaves to sort thru, hay to peck at, worms I've dug in my garden, and scraps from the kitchen...
