I'm thinking about putting up a string of energy efficient Christmas lights in the hen house to make up for the shorter daylight hours. Do you think a strand or two of lights would put out enough light? I haven't had an egg yet (Late June hatch) and I REALLY don't want to wait until Spring, thus the reason for an artificial light source.
I could hang them from the ceiling and I don't think the chickens could peck at them. We have light bulbs in the hen house but they are on a switch, not a timer and they would light up the whole place instead of just the area I use for chickens.
Thoughts?
