Thanks. I'm going to try just leaving the string lights, turn out the bigger white lights, and off goes the music. After all, I do have motion activated lights just outside the pen.I don't have any links handy, but I believe that people have tried 24 hour light to see if that improves laying and found that it had a negative effect on the chicken's health over time.
That said, many urban/suburban chickens live in areas that are never truly dark because of streetlights, security lights, etc.
Best to monitor their behavior and health and be prepared to adjust as appropriate.
