Both feeding time philosophies have merit. If you don't have bird predation that part of the equation does not apply. I use the evening feeding time schedule which can be at dark. I have never see any data about how much temperature difference there is at the surface at 5:30am vs 9:20pm in June - July. Anyone have this temperature data. Duration of aeration operation is important in the temperature comparisons.
