Dude, you should move to southern NM! We were 67 today, I think, and I was still wearing a sweater for most of the day...

It might just be me but there combs don't look that deep red like my hens did before they layed. So it has been 5 weeks so that would make them around 21-23 weeks old. I say you still might have to wait another month before they start to lay. We have 60+ degree weather here (southern AZ

)and my ladies started laying between 23 and 28 weeks old. With your cold weather and them just hitting POL age you probably have to wait at least 2 more weeks to 4 weeks.
