Welcome,
I am setting a hatch of about 45 this thursday with quality breeder only eggs (no hatchery stock!) that I have had mailed in, arriving tomorrow. I hopefully will have plenty of wheaten/blue wheaten ameracaunas, olive eggers, silkies (paint , splash, and buff varieties) and some easter eggers too...I will have a few 'mystery' eggs arriving that breed will be determined once hatched. I will offer these once they are a week old and past 'danger' zone. Planning on posting here and local Craigslist too. If all goes well I should have them ready to go around January 18th. I live in North Scottsdale.
happy Holidays and hoping for a great hatch,
Cindy

Do hens produce more eggs in the summer, winter or spring??

They produce more the longer the days are. So, in general, production goes down in the winter. That's why many people have a light in the coop...it extends daylight hours.

It's a higher class butt warmer than the towel I take my pics on. I like it!!!
