to give a hen the required 14 hours of light most people turn the light on in the morning but since that is impossible for me to do with my work schedule it gets dar around 8 here if i installed a light and turned it on about 7 and left it on untill 9:30 would that work just as well sunrise here is at about 7 give or take a few minutes so if the light stayed on untill 9:30 it would give them the 14 hours i guess im a backwards person but with my schedule it is really the only way i can work it but i was wondering if it would work that way just as well. and as for what light to use would a florescent light work if i installed it in the coop
