Cornell Professor Promotes Night Life for Chickens
Professor James E. Rice of Cornell reports experimental results showing lights in chicken coops raise egg production. Over 48 weeks, 200 hens and pullets in lighted coops produced about 12 more dozens per year than unlit coops, boosting revenue by roughly 71 dollars at wholesale prices. He notes pullets handle extended nighttime exposure better than humans and that feed amounts remained constant. The finding hinges on simply turning lights on and off.
