Hello all,
We have a mobile chicken coop/tractor that we move around our field so that our chickens can enjoy the fresh pasture and the field can benefit from all those nutrient deposits. As the nights are starting to get longer, we want to have a light in the coop that goes on early in the morning to supplement their light and prevent their laying from dropping right off. The problem is that we do not have electricity out in the field and can't run an extension cord.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a lighting set-up that we could use, using a 12V battery, some kind of timer, and a low energy bulb (LED I guess)? Ideally the battery would be able to power the light and timer for several days before needing a recharge.
Thanks!
