My chickens just turned 6 weeks old, and I just put them outside and was noticing the same thing about them not really going into the coop. And then I realized just how dark it is in there, glad I found this video! Thanks for sharing!
I got them at Menard's: www.menards.com/main/lighting-ceiling-fans/outdoor-lighting/landscape-lighting/patriot-lighting-reg-solar-integrated-led-frisco-mini-black-landscape-light/psl-1251/p-1444431534567-c-7541.htm
You can also get them from the dollar tree (for $1.25 a piece now since they raised there prices), if you don't have a menards near you. But honestly menards is more than likely better quality, so you should probably go with that option first.
Yes the first night after being installed they went right in at dusk. They are 4 years old now and probably don't care about the dark as much as when they were younger, but we left the lights in place anyways.
💡Awesome idea 👍
Thanks for thinking of the young chicks! They deserve to feel safe 😉
Never thought if that!!!!
Doing this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. 😊 My friends have chickens. I'll be sharing this idea with them.
What a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching. I installed these nearly a year ago and they are still working! Perfect for checking on them after dark.

Awesome idea. Where do you get them for $1 a piece?

Did the lights work. Did it make your chickens come in at night?
