Artificial Dawn and Dusk - Circuit Cellar
Egg laying by chickens requires a minimum number of daylight hours, and naturally decreases during the fall and winter, when days are shorter. In this month’s project, I create an ingenious device that not only extends the number of daylight hours in a chicken coop artificially, but also simulates the gradual increase of light at dawn and decrease at dusk, to avoid stressing the chickens with abrupt lighting changes.
