Well, I found a diagram of how to build a solar light system - cost in British pounds=100p = $150 or so. But the diagram could be useful in piecing together a system and there's some good info about what kind of bulbs to uses, etc.

Anyone looking for year-old hens? I know someone letting go of a flock: a couple older hens (one sweet 3 yr old Auracauna & one ?) and 2-4 Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds from last spring. Send me a message if you're interested. Alicia

Wouldn't it be great if we could find/come up with a little solar light on a timer - or a way to adapt one of those solar yardlights? I've started putting light in my coop in the evening - dark to 10pm or so instead of the morning, as the morning light made Henry crow at 3am! They just sit around in the coop and gossip until the light goes out. My solar yard lights seem to stay on until about 9 or so before they burn out. Hmmm

Did I ever ask if anyone knows of a battery operated light with a timer?
Dreaming,

Hi Alicia! It can be set up on a simple timer to close at the timing that you want...please watch the video to get an idea of the options!!!

An automatic door sounds good, Jamie, but with ducks and younger hens, it might not work. They tend to lag behind on getting into the coop. I'd hate to shut someone out for the night. Still - it'd sure be nice to stay out and about later than 4pm on these dark evenings!
