coop light

[kirkster5]

We just ended a long cold stretch and I had put in 2 red heat lamps in the coop to keep the flock warm. It kick started the girls into laying again.(we were only getting about 1 egg every other day from the 3 established layers now we are getting 3 per day.) My wife and I had decided not to force the issue during the winter season and just let them lay at thier leisure. So is it ok to turn off the lights after we had just kick started them into laying again?

Leave a light on. Enjoy the eggs.

I think I'd switch off the heat lamp and use another light if the nights are no longer so cold.

Actually, I use a light but no heat in my coop. It runs for 15 hours out of 24; 11-watt compact fluorescent.
