How many people use a lighting system for your hens to keep laying????

I said that three days ago... now they stopped laying.

I use a 60 watt bulb on a timer. Some adjustments will have to be made!

I am not sure if I want to add light or not. I have windows, and think that might be enough to keep me in a dozen a week. We really only eat about a dozen every 2 weeks... SO, with 5 girls LF laying and 3 bantams laying, I think I will be ok. I don't sell, so only meeting my needs. I do like the christmas string lite idea though...

This is my first Fall/winter with chickens but I have no plans to provide artificial lighting. Seen too many barns and coops burn down each winter because of it. Just not worth the risk for me.
