First winter for my 4 chicks and their urban coop. They haven't started laying yet and with decreasing day light, I was wondering if I should turn on the light early morning to help kick off the egg production. I bought a red energy efficient light bulb since I heard that red color would be more calming than a bright white light. But thinking about it, maybe it wont wake them up and they'll keep sleeping! Anybody out there using a red lamp (no heat) to add light in the coop?
