Will my younger girls whom are about to start laying here soon go into molt during the winter months if I don't add artificial lighting? Last year in my "old coop" I put in a light to add a very subtle source of heat of a normal bulb because I questioned the design(didn't quite turn out the way I planned). That was my senior birds start of their first year of laying so I wasn't sure if the lighting played a factor in that or not.
Not trying to keep the seniors from molting. Would just hate to have no eggs over the winter months.
Does anyone add artificial lighting in their coops to possibly help the molting process along? Unsure if adding lighting helps them in the molting process or not.
Thanks
