    Solar Coop Lighting

    Our coop has no electricity. I am searching for a coop light to turn on in the am prior to sunrise. It needs to be solar, and the coop is too far away for a remote control. I am not able to find a timer that allows me to set the hour that is compatible with solar lighting, but rather they come...

    Hello, this is my winter quail pen and as you can see, there is light shining down that is my artificial light and that will make the quail continuously lay eggs.

    Light Brahma hen or roo?

    I have a light Brahma about 5/6 weeks old who came from a female bin at Runnings. I'm becoming suspicious she is actually a he though because she's got bright red wattles coming in already, and she's turning into a bit of a jerk. She's also surpassed my oldest chick(at least a week older) in...

    Will small lights bother my chickens at night?

    I wanted to add a few things to the coop including a a wifi smoke detector, thermometer and camera but I’m concerned these items give off small amounts of light and that it may interfere with the chickens sleep. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

    How to intentionally stop egg laying

    My hen is laying internally and I need to stop her from laying any more until I can get her to a vet. I’ve read that to stop laying, a hen should have no more than 10 hours of daylight, but I’m not sure how people accomplish this. To intentionally stop egg laying… Do you put the hen in a...

    Coop Light Suggestion?

    I recently moved my chicks to the outside coop (Eglu Cube). It has only been 2 days, but they still do not know how to go back to the coop before dusk. I have been manually putting them back in the coop. I would like to try putting a light in the coop and hopefully that would help. I am looking...

    Hi all, I’m searching for a solar coop light that I can set a timer to turn off and on at certain times. Pref no remotes, unless it has a long range and can work through walls 😅 Main purpose is to help guide my flock back in to their coop at night as they won’t do it on their own. The only...

    Sunlight?

    Obviously this time of year there will be less daylight and in FL we may have more sunlight but it's less around this time regardless. My question is: What counts as sunlight for the quails? I've read on here that quails need about 14 hours of sunlight each day to keep producing eggs...

    Help! Light fell on chick :(

    Hi, I have two 3 week old chicks. The lamp I'm using (40w standard desk lamp.. NOT heat lamp/bulb) fell on the chick and she was stuck inside for a second or 2. I'm worried it may have burned her. Luckily, the lamp is warm but not ridiculously hot (I can touch it briefly). And she is...
