If you want to extend laying in the winter add a light bulb on a timer to the coop. Light needs to be red or orange (white light makes chickens pick at each other). Chickens need about 15-16 hrs of light a day for optimal laying (I just took a class at our local IFAS). We add even amount of time in a.m. and p.m. to make up the time throughout the winter.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06138070390319924448noreply@blogger.com
