[QUOTE="dun, post: 1209151, member: 34"] Never heard of an americauna, just aruacana. Chickens require a given amount of light every day to keep laying. We put a 50 watt bulb on a timer/light senson and set it so they got 12 hours of light a day. They would lay all winter long as long as the water was kept unfrozen and they had feed. For free range chickens I have no idea how you would give them enough light. The book raising poultry the modern way has the particulars on light etc., all the way through to the correct temperature for scalding for plucking. [/QUOTE]
