So, is it strange of me to not want to supplement daylight with artificial light to increase laying during the winter months?
It's really kind of moot, as my girls won't be ready to lay until early March, anyway.
I live alone, love eggs, but 7 pullets will probably provide me more eggs than I could use (plan on giving some to neighbors, of course, and to my landlady), so I don't NEED to boost production.
But will there be folks on BYC who will look at me askance for letting long dark nights in the coop stay dark NEXT winter, letting my ladies produce fewer eggs than they could pump out with increased illumination?
