birds hormones basically is how to think of it are controlled by the amount of light they get. It affects their egg production and molting patterns. So egg producers and showers regulate the light for birds to keep production high. Chickens need 15 hours of light per day. Daylight is best so I have a screened window across the front of their house facing east. When the light hits them you can hear them cackling as they lay their eggs. Being winter, that's between 7-11am. I find they get lethargic if they don't get enough daylight so I have a light on for them through the night. I'm planning to connect a timer for additional 6 hours they need. It seems if I have the light on continually they get cranky after a week or so. For now, I click it off on the weekend so they get more beauty rest. Another thing I noticed about the artificial light, it works best if placed by their feeding area, far from their nests and perches. This way, the ones who want to be up have light to feed. Be careful to use a covered light so that hens can't peck the light accidentally when they are diving for that moth or mosquito. :)
