Do I need lights on yet???

[jayne]

As this will be my first Winter in WA with chickens, and as we have had a few cloudy days..when do you Washington Chicken folk start with extra light. I would hate my girls who have just started to lay going into molt. Are any of you already supplying extra light???

Thanks

I start mine in the first of September only to allow them time to get used to them.

An old german man told me to have the lights on all year. So that is what we do. LED christmas lights, use hardly any power and its on a timer. Some of the girls don't come in until almost dark so they like the light on.
