First year breeding question

[bad-one]

Both of my girls seem to have follicles that feel like a row of at least 5 large ( 1 inch-ish) marbles in each. I'll palpate again after they potty, but I'm pretty sure that aint poop or urates

They are also in shed. My question is if this is likely both of their pre ovulation sheds?


Background info-
Up until the last couple weeks they have been eating ravenously (more so than normal) and now their food aggression is slackening.

Both have been visibly locking up with a male since November and have been seen bowl wrapping at least parts of their body with good frequency.

Both shed just about a month ago.

I would imagine, if you are feeling follicles in the 1 inch range I would imagine they should be ovulating anytime now, not 100% but that seems pretty large

Let me double check the size, its tough to tell but it feels like a string of big pearls

Edit- Your right- I'm a bit off, they feel at least 1/2 an inch if not 3/4". My ladies don't appreciate me feeling up their tummies lol

It sounds like a pre-ov shed, in general they ovulate at 44mm or the size of a golf ball.
