My Pekins have been laying large eggs all winter. Roll on Spring so everyone can get to laying

I thought pekins are seasonal layers
i read they are but also i read that they aren't.

for some reason everything has been laying early this year. my domestics started laying a few weeks back and even my mandarins have been laying and setting on eggs.

My Pekins are year round layers. They never stop. In the dead of winter when no one else is laying, I can always count on going out and collecting eggs from my Pekin ladies.
