[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 9272602, member: 8735"] A friend who had the same problem trialed 'metal mirrors' as an experiment down the centre of one of his houses; the idea being that they increased light and that the hens didn't like the '[I]company[/I]' of the reflections.. It worked pretty well, but wasn't extended because it wasn't cheap and involved a twice-weekly cleaning of the mirrors. Never been in poultry myself, yet I think the investment could be worth it if the cleaning aspect could be reduced. Maybe raising them by a couple of inches and tilting outward to reduce dust accumulation? But that may also affect the lighting adversely. Will be interested to read of a successful solution when you find one. (y) [/QUOTE]
