I too have a red heat lamp in my coop. I also have a 11 watt red sign lap bulb in the coop, I leave the sign lamp bulb on 24/7. I had it on a timer until my timer died. They got used to the light. I average 4/5 eggs a day for every 6 of my girls. I go check on them once in awhile and I had a critter cam in the coop and watched them on my TV. On really cold nights I add the red heat lamp above an area of their roosts, but leave the other light on too.
