Sorry Wiley ill rephrase the question when does natural darkness end and we have to put them on darkness....ie do they need to be on it before the clock changes.

Know a good fancier who said Youngsters need to be by 4:30 in June into a dark loft... Just light enough to feed and take water. I've never done it or tried it so ...
