Does mortality tend to be higher or lower with chicks hatched relatively early in the spring as compared with those hatched during late spring or early summer?

I would guess mortality to be greater early in the year due to the greater difference in daytime and night time temperatures, which wopuld probably affect brooder temperature stability
.Missed the answer to the lawn question.

I will agree with Plowboy.

Depends. If they are hatched early up here they had better be handy at shaking off snow and cold. Hatched far enough south and late they will need an air conditioner

Lower in spring as the likelihood of contracting diseases and parasites increase as the season advances.
