You should hang them right away, based on historical information about dates of arrival at various locations.  A 2014 map of sightings this spring shows them to already be on the move in our region. See map below and more at this link:

The link below is a very comprehensive and helpful guide to feeding hummingbirds:

A local hummingbird expert told me that they always arrive about the time when red buckeye blooms. I have always remembered that! This is early, usually late March or early April. I try to keep mine refilled and refreshed every few days, especially during the hot days. Don't buy the colored stuff, just boil 1 part sugar to 4 parts water.
