No, some people run a light during the winter months for a few extra hours to help keep egg laying up but they need darkness for a sound sleep. Even in my brooder I run the heat light during the day but at dusk I turn on the ceramic heater or these chicks will be up all night long doing things.
I will turn on a light on a timer in the coop a couple hours before dawn in the winter. Not for the eggs, but for "quality of life" haha. (See my "fusspot" reference here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=46521&p=4) Who wants to be in the dark 16 hours a day in a PNW winter? I never leave it on at night because with my fusspot luck, a hen will be making the jump to the roost and the lights will go out. hop-Click-THUNK!-BOCK!!!!!
