LOL funny thing here(I have neighbors too they built their house next to my chicken yard) I don't have electric anywhere near any of my pens and barns and still yet (not every morning but most mornings) at any where from 3 to 4:30-5o'clock it sounds like the Morman tabernacle choir (maybe not so much on key or harmonious as they are) but nonetheless its pretty exciting, loud, and moving to say the least. I hope they thought to purchase the good windows(sound blocking type) when they laid out their house building plans.I tend to extend the light past sunset but I have neighbors close by. During the early sunset months no one wants to hear a rooster at 3 am. And it is so much easier for me not to have to change the timer every two weeks. My lighting plan is to turn the lights on in the morning for a few hours and in the afternoon to evening for the longer time period. But now that my chickens are staying in their coop all day I had to extend the morning lights to make sure they had plenty of light.
I use rope lighting in my new coop in case you were asking more about the placement of lights.
