Who saw the Northern Lights last night!?!?! I either missed them or just couldn’t see them from where I am but others in the area saw them so I did see some cool pictures online. I’m hoping to see even more cool pictures. I figured this could be one central place to post your Northern Lights...

I have had chickens for several years now. We don't have electricity to the coop. I would like to have some solar light for the winter months for being able to see and to help egg production. Does anyone have a solar light system that they would like to tell me what brand they bought that...
