I have an ecoglow- I highly recommend it if you brood chicks in the future. Since day 1 my chicks have known the difference between night and day. The have been out in the coop (but not the run yet- it's almost finished!) for a week. It rained for a week, so I turned the light on out there for them even during the day. I turn it off before it started to get dark. In the off chance I forget and turn it off later, and it's a little darker in the coop... they cheep loudly in protest. Even though they already know night and day. "OH MY GOODNESS THE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF! THE SKY IS FALLING!"
They calm down after a few minutes.
