Last winter I never turned a on light in the morning, but it is on timer to turn on around 1600 to 1700 hrs in the evening and stays on till 2100 hrs.
Hint on the light, turn it on early in the mornings, so as daylight happens, it’s a continuous flow of light. Providing extra light in the evening, then lights out, doesn’t give that evening dusk to get settled for the night.
Bymule is right - for poultry/birds you need to have the tmer on several hours before dawn then let the natural dusk send the birds to roost. Otherwise they get caught off the perches or out of the night nesting areas making them vulnerable to predators.

Keep a lid on anger. Calm down, cool off, find something to laugh about.
It’s not the birds fault.

I think I know you well enough now to know you won’t explode out of control. When it comes time to deal with your problems, it will be legal and inside the law.

It was stupid, but it had to be satisfying to crunch up that livestock shelter.

I’m getting new neighbors! He’s an Iraq combat veteran, disabled and retired. She is busy with 3 boys. They have been camping in a yurt, going back to Dallas today, will be back. They bought 7 1/2 acres. Purely city folks, eager to learn. They are delightful.
