I have over 20 hens and am only getting 1 or 2 eggs a day so I'm wanting to step up that egg production. I put in a 100 watt bulb out there and plan to turn it on when I get up in the morning at 5 and have my boyfriend shut it off for me whenever he gets up (9 or so, lucky guy).
My question is, how long do you all suppose it's going to take to see more eggs rolling? Also, is the 100 watt the best choice or should I go with something lower?
Thanks! Oh, don't know if it matters, but the types of chickens are: Wyandotte, Ameracauna, Cochin, Sicilian Buttercup, Barred Rock, Turkens, Turken/Silkie cross, Sebright, Phoenix...I think that's all. What do you think??
