so i have had my ducks for awhile and they were laying great until winter hit and days got shorter. they completly stopped and my chickens slowed down so i put up lights to get them laying again. the ducks have started again, but the eggs are stained black! i've been getting more eggs now but...
Well i dont even know if the light will help. I live on a farm thats very old and my chciken house is a long rectangle and the outside wall is just chicken wire, so the chickens go in at night to roost even while the light is on
I've put up a light on a timer in my chicken house so that my hens can get back laying more since the days are so short. My question is whether i should have my light on in the morning or at night, like starting at 6pm when it gets dark until around 11 pm, or 4 am until its light outside
