I think it may have been a bit stressful, though, as I think they picked on each other a bit more than they might have without the light. I have young pullets this fall and am tempted to use the light to see if they will start laying over winter, but haven't decided yet! Good luck! Hi, Ash,

I have two orpingtons and two sexlinks who are moulting and six black copper marans who are just old enough to lay. We put a light in the marans coop in the hoop it will stimulate them to lay.
