I think as long as the light period and temps are the same, it wouldn't matter what actual time of year it was.

I've heard of success breeding at many times during the year. It's just a bit harder and you just have to regulate daylight and temps more closely.

I know I've had one girl lay belly up, and was never introduced to a male.

You may also want to relax a bit on getting an answer to your question, as it is Father's day and it has only been an hour.

First question is has she been introduced to a male. If not then I'd say no shes not gravid.

There are many signs going off feed, building, bowl wrapping, heat seaking, cool seeking, pre ovulation shed, ovulation.

If she had been put with a male and you didn't know what to look for then yea she could be getting ready to lay.

Let me know if she was with a male.

Its easier to breed in the fall. The days are naturally shorter and the temps naturally drop. Some breeders breed year around. Most don't
