Ok ... another question. If I decide to use a light in the coop to artificially extend daylight so as to keep the hens laying WHEN should the light be on? Should I have it on a timer to come on at around 5am to make it seem like the sun has come up earlier or should it be on from. say, 5pm to 9pm to make it seem like the sun is up later? Or does it matter? AND... on a related note, if I am going to use a light to help keep the coop warm in the winter, how does that effect the laying, since the light would be on most of the night?
thanks
Jim
