    Chicken run lighting question

    MY birds do not go into the coop often at all and sleep int he run at night. My goal was to keep egg production up through the winter. After doing a little research it seems I can set my light to come on at dusk and turn off 4hours later so that's my current plan :)

    Chicken run lighting question

    So I purchased a solar light for my 10'x34' chicken run and was wondering if it was ok to put it on dusk to dawn mode. Will the chickens be ok if the light stays on all night? The coop will be dark, but they typically sleep in the run.

    Four silkie roosters looking for a new home. Hampton Roads VA

    They had been in a coop/run with 8 hens and three more roosters. 7/8 rooster/hen ratio was not working out. Then we moved them into their own bachelor pad and things got better. We've since re-homed them.

    What do y'all do with older hens?

    None out hens are even a year old yet, and we already have more hens than we have room for them. My DW is addicted. A betting man would say ours will stay until they pass of natural causes ;)

    My protective rooster (Cockerel)

    I have two Jersey Giant pullets hatched 22 July. Nothing giant about them yet and they are not with the main flock yet (doing the look but don't touch thing). We have 16 "pullets" in the baby flock and I'm really hoping they are all pullets. That will leave Dobby with 30 hens to watch over though!
