I use the white version in both of my coops (10x12 and 12x12) and they are bright enough that i can see when i have to make runs to the coops at night but dim enough that it don't keep the chickens up and my egg production went up about 1/3. By the way i only used one 100 light strand in each...
Yes, that is leg mites, but all you have to do is dip their legs in vegtable oil once a day for 5-7 days and it will kill the mites and their legs will go back to normal in less that a month.
Has anyone used the ledge in a building like this:
As a nest box?
Here is a pic of the ledge inside:
If not could you put a lip on it and use it as nest boxes?
i think it would be fine because my barred rocks rir's and others use 9in x 12in boxes comfortable and even hatch peeps from these boxes and i have had them like that for approx 5yrs and i have offered other bigger boxes but they still use the small ones
