Now, if one is letting their hens go through a more natural egg-laying cycle in the winter to avoid early burn out, this is not necessarily true. Providing more light is necessary to increase egglaying in the slower months, but not necessary if this is not a desired action.
Agreed. Especially if they are young pullets (mine are hatchlings). I plan on not using any light to allow them to mature more slowly and hopefully not start prodcuing eggs until the Spring. Does this make sense?
