I would let her go to bed now, it's been an eventful day for you both. You know what they say about silkies , " wait for them to crow or lay an egg " .

No worries. Here's another link , when they are older it can be prolapsed cloaca , did you know the word cloaca comes from the Latin word meaning sewer?

Quote: I've seen some models that have a separate panel. Ikea would have a cheap solution with the Solvinden lamps (20-30 euros here), but those give light for 12 hours after sundown, which would stress the birds a bit too much. You would need to modify them a bit, maybe switch the battery to one with less capacity. I found some product called Ecolight Solar Power System (100 euros), which says it gives 7 hours of light, but that seems like a bit too much too. Best way would be to get something with a timer that could be set to give light two hours after and before the sun is up, or if you're not a morning person, maybe 4 hours after sunset. I think much over 14 hours of light isn't recommended for prolonged periods of time. Our 19½ hour days sure got our pullets laying early though.

We've got gutter mounted solar lights, just to light the edge of the verandah. When Joe the feed man comes to deliver our feed it's always after dark and these just light the way to stop him tripping off the edge when the ridge back chases him.

I wonder if this Finnish policeman has the same thing on his mind.
