I'm not relying on the lights and music to protect my chickens, but to help entertain them.

Thank you very much. I'd appreciate that! :D

THANKS. WE'RE BUDDIES INDEED! Same here with the solar lights and flashlight.:)

OK. I can see the point. I got both my coops inside the chicken run. The run itself is regular chicken wire, but both their coops are shut up tightly and the screening is also hardware cloth. We also have the bang bang kind of security and 3 very noisy dogs. So hopefully, that will help. We do...

Yep. Secure coop seems to be the key. Electric fence, for sure, I WILL BE THE ONE TO FIND IT, IN THE DARK!!! LOL!

So I've gathered. I'm going to try it, and see how they react. Thanks.

Thanks. You seem to be much more sympathetic, compared to the others about the music. The music is not that loud, but I don't like hearing other people's music either, Tennessee Bird Walk (song in the 60s) is out of vogue. And I sing to my birds all the time. I even make up songs for them, but...

OK. Thanks. Looks like it unanimous! String lights, big lights and music off. I have motion activated lights just outside the pen, so that should suffice.

Thanks. I'm going to try just leaving the string lights, turn out the bigger white lights, and off goes the music. After all, I do have motion activated lights just outside the pen.

OK. There seems to be a consensus among the chicken moms. I'll leave the string lights. It looks in the picture like the light is INSIDE the coops, which it is not. But still, it may be too much as well. I'm going to try just leaving the string lights then, and I also have motion activated...

OK. Then the chickens would prefer the dark? The reason I did this in the beginning is because, when I left the light on, I noticed that they seemed to gravitate to the light (for security?) as opposed to shying away from it, as an annoyance, seemingly.

Thanks for the info! I didn't know, obviously. Another reason I did this was to be able to see a predator, if one did get into the pen.

I don't know enough about chickens yet to know what I'm not supposed to do. Ignorance DOES have its rewards....I think. LOL! I have strung lights all over my chicken run, and have large lights for both coops inside. The chickens seem to like it, of course, what are they going to do? Form another...
