Coop light

[Ambam47]

We got a solar light for our coop, but upon reading it looks like there’s different light modes. I know they need full darkness the majority of the night to sleep so which mode do y’all think would be best to leave the light on?

Is this going inside the coop or outside?

If inside where the chickens are, I wouldn't use it. It's motion activated, it will be going off all the time, chickens move during the night, they stretch, preen, look around, shift positions, etc.

If outside, then play with the settings to suit your needs.

Is this light for you or the chickens, but you're right they don't need it. Hopefully it's not the kind that flashes when it gets low on power. I've also wondered about whether or not chickens get the strobe effect from LED lights.

My chickens have 7 roosting bars with dropping boards in an L shaped coop and run combo(predator proof)I keep a 5 watt light on at all times so they have access to their run and food and water 24/7
