Is 2 months adequate brumination?

It's been a warm winter here and I'm worried that the hoggies are loosing too much fat stores.
So the question is: Pull them out now or wait a few weeks.

pull um ! all of mine only get about two months every year and they do great. some people dont cool theres at all and still get eggs. but I think you get a higher percentage of good eggs if you do cool them for a while. hope this helps.
