well my redsexlinks started to lay. i am not sure weather it was there age or that fact that i put a light in the coop that comes on at night and morning to give them more daylite. instead of getting 4-6 eggs a day i am getting 16-18 a day.

What watt bulb did you use and what time does the light come on?
I have 34 hens and my egg production came to a screeching halt. Am thinking about adding light but don't know exactly how to. I do have electicity in my coop any suggestiond?

I have read that a 40w bulb is sufficient and they need at least 12 hours of light. I put a 40 watt bulb in my heat lamp because I dont have any chicks to keep warm right now. I just hung it up in my coop and it runs from 6 am til about 9 at night.
