    The age is fine. But would still wait till she hits 1500grams at least.
    Right now till december or so. They usually go on a a feeding frenzy and gain weitght right quick. So I'm sure she'll go.
    Good luck!

    I'm in the same boat with one of my girls... she's 3 years old but kind of a picky eater, so she is also around 1150g. Time for both of us to fatten up these ladies!

    I think it's okay to breed her, but I wouldn't get your hopes up?

    I had a 1400 gram, 2 year-old piebald last year that I paired up, and they were pretty enthusiastic about it from November-May. But she never ovulated.

    Meanwhile my 1300 gram 3 year-old het lavender ignored her boyfriend until February, paired up for just a couple months, and gave me 5 huge eggs.

    So I don't think there's any problem with pairing that two year old? But she just might not give you anything.

    Re: is she ready....

    My Mojave girl was 2 years old last year and around 1100-1200 grams. She locked a few good times with my male, but did not go. This year she has gained a few hundred grams and is locking like crazy. I'm hoping that extra year is all she needed!

    I bred and got eggs from several Aug. 09 females this season, BUT they were 1800 and 1600 grams well before ovulating.
    I wouldn't breed a 1000 gram female at 18 months old.
    I started breeding them at 18 months old and they gave me eggs right about when they turned 2 years old.
    Those eggs are due to hatch within the week

    I start all my females pairings at 1200g.

    Starting September i put females on every 3 day feedings till November. This will increase weight a good 2-300g as all my 2010 hold backs are now 1100-1400g. By pairing females up will get them into the breeding mode and want to pack on more weight. By time Ovulation happens their well over 1800g.

    Just have to keep eye on the leaner females. They may be of weight and age, but long and lean can be trouble some.
