chris87 297 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 As above this time of year to keep them laying? If so what sort of lamp? How many hours of artificial light ye give? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burnie69 376 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 My brood pens are on artificial light. Starting November I have Lcd hospital lights in my pens they'll come on at 4am on a timer and go off mid morning this way you'll find they go to roost in the evening when it starts getting dusk if the light goes off all of a sudden the birds would spend the night on the floor. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't mean electric lights clever Dick I meant is there any way of running lights with out electric ie solar panels or leisure batteries. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burnie69 376 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 What about using garden solar lights. They'd charge there selfs up in the day you'd just have to make sure there powerfull enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 That's what I was thinking mate but haven't found any garden lights that charge enough outside in winter and only seem to give a flicker of light then go back off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Tether that's more like the help I wanted lol. That's seems quite a good thing. Do any lads use them on hear is it a gadget that doesn't work or good kit, what kind of price do these go for? Joe thought the key was plenty of light and not so much heat? Any reason for mash rather than pellets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
