breed them now if you want.the only not good time really is winter as it is cold,and hens can get egg bound.put them together give them what they require and see what happens.

spring is when they start to show interest in nesting. summer and autumn are the better seasons for breeding.
as Gomer said try to avoid any breeding in winter due to the problems in can cause the adult birds
