Concerned for my chickens

Why? I would think the light on at night would stress them out, its not going to make a difference in temperature, especially if your coop is properly vented.

No. I'm not leaving it on at night. Just during the day. Would that still poise a problem?

Sorry if my post was not clear. Still working on my coffee to wake me up lol

I also put a 100 watt bulb in coop and I'll probably leave that on today.

Oh and the temp in the coop this morning was around 19 to 20 degrees. I have never seen it drop below that number. It is currently 4 degrees outside right now.

The bulb heats the coop that much?
Ventilation is more important than heat.

No. That temp is without the bulb. I just put it in this morning.

No reason for the bulb then 20°F is nothing.
It's 11 here with windchill at about 2, I left them in the coop today because there is no wind protection in my run.
