Rooster Booster 12-Volt poultry lighting
12-Volt poultry lighting timer for free range chickens which are housed where mains electricity is not available.
Day length is important to a hens egg production. As winter approaches and the days start to shorten, egg production will reduce or even stop! To overcome this artificial poultry lighting is used
Rooster Booster poultry lighting is ideal for free range chickens houses where mains electricity is not available. Connected to a 12-volt battery, the rooster booster will provide light throughout the winter months, making it viable to keep hens in more remote areas.
Monitoring the 24-hour pattern of natural light and dark, the Rooster Booster timer adjusts it self so that it only comes on when it is dark in a 15 hour period thus maximising time between battery charges and ensuring that the free range chickens enjoy the benefits of natural daylight. At the end of the day after a short dimming time, a night period of 9 hours begins. No lighting is provided during this time allowing the hens to roost.

Important features
- By providing two short periods of light when the hens are confined to the restricted area of their houses during dark periods reduces the risk of vices, such as feather pecking or egg eating.
- Light provided at roost time gives the hens an opportunity to have a final feed.
- The light will not deter the hens from roosting in the evening but will stimulate its egg production.
- Providing light in the mornings makes the eggs come earlier, so when the conditions outside are a little muddy more eggs are produced before the morning paddle producing less dirty eggs.
