unless you get tiny chickens...but I doubt your laying flock is a bunch of tiny chickens!Do you have a plan on where to keep them during the first 6 weeks?? many people brood just a few in their house, some use a barn with electricity, or in a garage. In all cases a heat source is necessary.
About now is a good time to set eggs as in 3 weeks it will be much warmer and by the time they are ready to go out side the temps will be even better. OF course I am asuming you are in a northern state-- the southern states you can start sooner.
Remember the little ones grow up to be big chickens. Be careful of chicken math!
