Waller Co agent reports hens need at least 18 hours of good light daily to maintain high egg production. Extension poultry man Ben Wormell notes light entering the eye influences the pituitary and hormone production that drives egg output.
A note advises placing lights to brighten the entire house with emphasis on feeders and waterers. It suggests clear 60 watt bulbs mounted about six feet above the floor and fourteen feet from a reference point to achieve even illumination.
Poultry expert Wormell endorses using shallow reflectors with bulbs to improve light distribution and suggests a timer to match daylight changes. Minimum light intensity at hen eye level should be one foot candle for laying hens, with 13 hours a day. A 15 minute morning signal of lights helps floor flocks start their day, and lights should begin when production slackens to avoid drops in output.
