When did your pullets start laying in the spring?

My 7 Barred Rocks, hatched 8/15/18, bought as day old chicks from TSC. Started to lay at 20 weeks and all were laying around 23 weeks.
I add light at 5 am year round. Currently sunset is 5:26.
I feed a Non-Medicated Starter-Grower 18% or Flock Raiser/All-Flock crumbles 20%. Whichever is Fresher when I'm at TSC, with Oyster Shells and Poultry Grit each in separate containers.
I add no heat, but do have a heated base for the water.
It's been below 0 Fahrenheit several nights this winter. 20190131_130052.jpg . GC
 
My double laced barnevelder laid her first egg today! She’d be around 7 months now I think. I have a light that turns on at 6am so I can see them moving around before I leave for work at 7am, it turns off at 8am.
