Breeding phase question..

So my female pastel ovulated back in early May, pre-lay shed May 20th, and now she is chilling on the warm side. Obviously she was huge during the ovulation, but her size has gone down substantially since then. I know this is normal, but with eggs supposed to be coming 2 weeks from today, what should I expect? I've read Mark and Jayne's website a million times but as this is my first eggperience (ya like what I did with that??.. bahaha), what else should I expect?

I'm just so paranoid! I don't want to lose any eggs! Is there a possibility that the follicles were reabsorbed after the ovulation? Or once the pre-lay occurs are you pretty guaranteed to get something, whether it be slugs or eggs?

Once they ovulate something is going to come out.

Breathhhhhhh, relaaaaxxxxxxxxx :), lets just hope she lays as scheduled. My last girl laid 8 days late.....better late than never I say.

Yes I would say you should be getting something if there was a definite ov. Watch for them to get uncomfortable, ridge back, and puffy butt. Also, I agree to hope they come on schedule or it will drive ya half nuts playing the waiting game. Good luck.

Awesome! Glad to here I'll receive something from her after waiting 3 years!! Let the stress continue!!!

Ah, if you waited three years the what is a couple more weeks! LOL! After ovy it takes 2 weeks to have a prelay shed! After the prelay shed it can take at least 4 weeks to even 6 weeks! They are all different! The earliest I have heard is 26 days after prelay shed! You still are a little ways away from getting some eggs! It is a long process! Good luck and be very patient!

Good luck! And be ready! I messed up and didn't think my girl was gonna lay. She didn't seem to be gravid and being my first season I was not ready.
I had to get an incubator online and had to leave her with her eggs for 2 days.
