Programming my hens

They need16 hours of light to make eggzzzzz. I found out that the Barred Rocks that I mostly have, are considered pretty good layers as they average 4 eggs a week. The best brown egg layers are the production Reds who can average up to 6 eggs a week, and even better are the White Leghorns but they lay white eggs and are considered quite flighty. I think you'd have a hard time letting them free range during the day and getting them all back up at night.
