Female weight?

I was curious guys I"m getting a normal female thats almost 2500 grams. Now I know girls have all different size clutches depending on size and other variables. But could you guys give me an idea of how many eggs you think I could get from a girl that big? Just ball parking. This will be my first breeding season and I'm trying to learn and research as much as I can. Thanks

i had a girl at 2400 lay 8 but this varies alot

A breeder I know had a 3200g female lay 4 eggs. He said they were really big eggs but still only 4. He said the year before she produced 6 and she was still close to 3000g's.

My 2000g girl laid 5, so I'd say 6-9, but thats just ball park.

I had a 1800 gram female lay 7 eggs and a 2400g female lay 4 eggs. Different girls just lay differently.

its funny you'd think the bigger the girl the more eggs, but as long as they are healty I"m happy with that.

My 1700 gram pied layed 7 healthy eggs this year and our normal that weighed 2100 grams last year layed 9 healthy eggs. It all just depends on the girl...just as others said.

All things considered, I would say 4-15 eggs.

:p

As everyone said, results can vary greatly... but my girl Mona weighed around 2500-2600g before becoming gravid, and she laid 7 eggs for me last week. :gj:
