If you choose to run a light to extend daylight length to keep egg production during the short days of winter , use a timer and have it come on before dawn instead of lights out in the evening before they get on their roost.Feeding hot pepper powder/ flakes has never made chickens lay more for me. They might drink more water.  Feeding a higher protein layer feed will probably do more for them in the winter months.</blockquote>
