Can My chickens lay eggs in constant shade?

[The Egypt Guy]

Hey guys, I recently had to move my chickens and their coop into a place with constant shade. It's not that dark, maybe as bright as a cloudy day. can they still lay eggs?

Of course they can.

Of course they can.

Thanks, Ive been worried if they had enough light.

They're not plants, they don't need direct sunlight. Ambient light is fine.

When people ask about supplemental lighting in a coop being bright enough, the usual answer is that if it's bright enough to read a newspaper by, it's bright enough. So open shade will be enough, I'm sure.

Now, the question I have is, who is reading newspapers these days?
