I too am unfamiliar with the term "warm wavelength fluorescent bulb" but I suspect what is meant by it is a full spectrum fluorescent light that is about as close to natural Sun light as one can come indoors and at night to real Sun Light. These bulbs are sometimes prescribed by doctors to persons suffering from depression caused by winter time light deprivation. If they'll help a 175lb human they should do wonders for a 5lb hen..... I don't know a lot about supplemental lighting myself. But from reading from my Chicken Owners Manual ...it states that hens need around 14 hours of daylight to maintain good egg production. It also says that a 9 watt warm wavelength fluorescent bulb provides more than adequate additional lighting for an area of approximately 200 square feet. I have no idea what a 'warm wavelength' fluorescent globe is...
