Rhode island red chickens

If we hang a heat lamp in our hen house for the winter months, will it affect our chickens at night?

we want to make sure it wont keep them awake. Should we use a red heat light or white?

    The heat lamp shouldn’t keep your chickens awake. I don’t know if there would be a difference between the red and white lights, but I really don’t think it matters.
    It’s a forum made for chicken keepers. It has over 35k members so someone should be able to answer your questions.

    It should be fine. I know a bunch of people who hang lights in there hen houses so they will keep laying eggs in the winter.
