I have been building 8x8 coops for a while know and have been happy with them. I like to build them so i can stand up and walk around easily 
I was going to build a new coop similar to the ones i always build but i wanted it to be specifically for chickens to lay year round in.
I heard if you give them light for a few more hours and warm water they would lay.
I have never done this before.
How warm do i need to keep the water?
Do i need to keep the chicken warm too like in summer?
What are the basics that i should know.
Thanks
