The $4 Mountain Method That Keeps Hens Laying All Winter Long

Winter can slow down egg production, but it’s not always the cold that’s causing it. Sometimes, it’s simply the shorter days. I’ll show you the simple setup I use to give my hens a little extra light in the morning, why the timing matters, and how a small bulb and timer can help keep a healthy flock laying through the darker months. I’ll also share the old method my family used before we had electricity and what I learned after getting the timing wrong myself. It’s a simple idea, but there’s some good science behind it—and a little old-fashioned know-how that still holds up. #BackyardChickens #Homesteading #OldFashionedLiving #HomesteadTips #Chickens
