It's like any size town ( or even in the sticks). You just have to know your surroundings. I would be more nervous in Baton Rouge but I haven't lived there in years.

Is this a thing that people do? Do the chickens like the coop as is (with natural light from windows, pop door, and vents, but still pretty dark) or would they be happier if they had a light in the coop to make it brighter during the day? I don't want to be forcing egg laying through winter, just wondering if chickens like a brighter coop better.

I did it in winter when they were young to help them learn to go into roost . Now days are so long they aren't in coop except to sleep on roost. Mine is pretty dark too.

Thanks captain obvious

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify for those with only 15 years of memory.
White light LEDs have only been commercially viable since 2018.
Since 1974 I have worked with Neon, incandescent, halon, fluorescent, sodium vapor, mercury vapor, CFL, LED & laser.

A pneumatic computer sounds like it has a virus.

The non-leds are going to definitely be hotter and draw more power. If you use them, be sure there not against anything flammable (wood, plastic, etc) and be sure there is enough power.
Sorry. I forgot to hit 'Post reply".

Clarification; If you are going to use incandesant ( non-LEDs) follow these rules.

I'm sort of confused by most of this discussion but I would almost definitely use LEDs.
