I pondered this as well, and think that the best way to look at it would be to make your judgement based on what you feel the spring hatch turned out. If you had a cold and wet spring, the chick mortality may have been a lot higher than normal.
Thanks for all the responses...has been helpful. This probably most applies. We had a wet, cool Spring and I don't think we need more hens cleared out of my area for now.
