That's what I was thinking too. I am in western NY so we had a really cold winter as well. I got my chicks in February hoping that they would lay eggs over the summer and have time to lay a little before winter slows them down.
I have a bunch of different breeds and I was wonder when each breed might start laying. I have 3 dominques and when I ordered the it said they mature early so is that like 17-18 weeks?
I have 4 other breeds and when I ordered it said they mature moderately early so I was thinking like 20-22...
