Is it always the male who was first in line who fertilizes the eggs? I had a male accidentally lock sometime in august, then the male I wanted to breed had 3+ good locks between September and December. She laid Jan 24 and much to my surprise the babies belong to a male I never paired her with, but they were in a tub together for maybe an hour when I moved houses back in august. I always assumed, sperm being viscous, that anybody in a multi sire pairing had a shot, but I'm kind of floored that this male accidentally fathered the clutch when I intentionally paired a different male 3+ times including right during ovulation. I included I a diagram illustrating different "locks" and wondering if anyone has experienced the same, or has experienced the opposite where the male who had the first lock or few locks didn't get the job done.
