Different chickens have different needs for light. It involves the length of light, the intensity of light, the wavelength of light, etc., which have a significant impact on the growth, development, and production of chickens. Under wild conditions, the physiology of chickens varies with the season (in fact, the length of light).
Small chicks, generally have 24 hours of light, so that they can see each other, can eat and drink, and avoid trampling incidents.
Broiler chickens usually have 24 hours of light, and a little bigger can have 23 hours of light. The purpose is to keep it from eating feed and drinking water to grow meat.
Laying hens usually have 16 hours of light and 8 hours of rest. Generally, it is better to form eggshells and have a certain rest time.
