    to light the coop or not- what color bulb?

    we just started getting eggs this week and would like to extend the light for the girls does it matter what color light ? Red, yellow or a regular bulb, I have a leghorn that is starting to get a little mean and peaking the others, when they were little we used red does it make a difference now?
