I'm in MD too!
It has been cold here lately, but i have 8 day olds in the brooder now lol. I,personally, don't think that there is a "bad time" of season to hatch, as long as they either come in the house for brooding or have a very warm section in the coop to use as a brooder.
And think, by the time spring rolls around, any hens that hatch will be starting to lay!!
I say go for it!
