ChickenOut

It’s getting darker

Today it’s got darker as the artificial lights have been turned down. With no windows in the shed I can just about see to reach the food and water, but it is better for resting in. We are all eating lots and growing fast and I am much larger than last week. The feeders are getting crowded and there is a lot less space as we all grow so quickly.

FACT CHECK:
In intensive broiler sheds, the lighting is often kept low but may be kept on for most of the 24 hours to encourage the birds to keep eating. A short period of at least 4 hours of darkness is required to enable the chickens to rest.
