I know the less daylight there is the less eggs hens will lay. I'm just wondering if the season in which the pullets mature has a relationship to the age at which they start to lay. What I mean is, if you schedule your hatch to have the girls reaching maturity around the summer solstice for example when there is the most light and it is warmer, will they tend to lay sooner all else being equal (the breed, feed rations, etc.) than if they reach maturity in the fall when the days are getting shorter?
