Early Hatched Pullets Best for Winter Eggs
The article advises hatched pullets for winter egg production. It notes yearling and older hens underperform in November and December and rarely lay well in January and February. Optimal 13 percent winter yield depends on pullets hatched in March or April, with May hatched birds laying less consistently.

Successful hatching depends as much on the danger and vitality of the parent stock and the core of the eggs before incubation as on the incubator itself. Hatches improve when birds in the pens are healthy. poor hatches are likely due to poor breeding stock rather than incubators.
