    Gravid girls

    This is my third breeding season. I did not take note in previous years, but I just noticed something...

    I have several girls that I know are gravid, and within days of laying...

    These girls, of course, have not eaten 6 or more weeks.

    I just noticed, that several of these gravid girls have just urinated and/or defecated a little bit, when they have not done so for some time. Is this a common sign that they are about to lay?

    I did have my first clutch of the year on Easter morning.

    I am expecting several more girls real soon. About 44-48 days ago, I saw ovulation after ovulation! Right and left. The most predominant and obvious, ovulation, was my big Mojave girl, who was bred with my mystic male.

    How long after do they usually lay? I have 6 or 7 girls at this stage currently.
    It's probably been about 48 hours.
