Maybe I worded that wrong or made it confusing. The light systems either have a timer and are motion sensored or they or they don't have a timer at all. I want them to come on and stay on for sure. I'll check out the article. Thanks

Thanks There are solar lights on Amazon with timers but they mostly are motion activated or are just solar lights without timers that aren't motion activated. I could use the solar light without timer but they would come on at dark instead of in the morning.

I'm looking to get a solar light with timer for my chickens. Is there a brand or system that works best? Right now I'm running an extension cord out to their hen house with a timer. Also is it best to run the additional light in the morning or evening to keep them laying or doesn't it matter? Thanks

Thanks!

I had one hen brood for a little over month, maybe longer. I got her to stop. When will she start laying again? Also, I put in new landscaping and can't keep the girls out of it. I paid a lot of money to do this at the request of my wife. Is there something I could put down or spray to deter...

Awesome..... Thx! Also after thinking, my girls lay in the morning. We collect before work/school. So it would have to be between the time they lay early morning til we leave. Curiosity sounds probable and they are all new layers.

Thanks everyone for the response. I'll keep an eye out for critters.

All my chickens have finally stated laying, but the last few days it seems that there is a culprit in the hen house that is pecking holes in some of the eggs. Is this a jealous hen being vindictive? Why would they do this? I don't think its from lack of space as my hen house and nesting boxes...

Thx Liv!

Probably really small eggs too?

I can't find a way to post another pic in a reply. Also, I'd like to put a profile pic up but can't figure out how.... please advise. Thanks

I'm new to this..... OEGB?

So I bought some chickens in March. Two of which were supposed to be Ameraucanas. One turned out to be a rooster, qhich we got rid of. The other my wife says looks like a pigeon. Here's a pic, let me know what you think. Thanks

Thanks for the info.... I'll be more patient and enjoy the one girl that is laying.
