Is this normal

So I have a female that locked with my pastel yb 2 days ago and laid eggs yesterday. I thought they would not let the males do their thing when they were already gravid? My incubator is still not working right so i had to take them to my buddy's house. here is the only pic that i took. Sorry for the bad pic its a cell pic

First off congrats on the eggs :gj:.Well he might be a forcefull male and made her play.

One thing about bps, they never go by the book.

Congrats on the eggs :gj:

I'll add congrats as well and say that it's probably not typical, but in the world of BP's, what is? :) Yeah, usually my girls will not lock after they become gravid and I think that's typical.

Out of curiosity, your girl had to have gone through the several phases of ovulation including the pre-lay shed. Once she did that, you knew eggs were coming, right? So then why did you continue to pair her with a male or attempt to? Again, just curious - not busting your chops.

To be honest I did not see her ovulate and she has been off feed since I started pairing her in November and have not shed since October so thats why i put my male back with her. I guess this girl was just messing with me since this is my first time breeding on my own. I have 3 other girls that have ovulated and I can see them starting to get fat in the lower part of there body so I know they are getting ready to lay soon. Thanks for all of your replies. Goodluck to everyone thats breeding this season.

So it looks like 6 normals. I guess my PYB didnt get the job done and my dinker is not dominant or co dominant or I have the worst luck in the world. I don't have pics since my camera is not working.
