Weird but I have to ask...
Ok so I have this normal girl that I got last season she laid 3 slugs late last season like July or aug well I started to introduce my male mojave to her on a schedule of 2 days in 8 days off I saw 3 locks from him i know the signs of building and I know what a ovulation looks like but this girl has been glowing for 3-4 weeks and laying on her side for about the same amount of time I never saw her wrap her bowl and I have not seen a ovulation at all but she has gone off feed also and the males have no interest but it has only been 6-7 months since she last laid so my first question is are we (meaning the whole breeding community) sure a ball cannot double clutch or maybe lay half there eggs at one time and the rest a few months later? I do not know much about this girl I picked her up around may of last year my other question is is I have never had a girl lay once late and then early the next year has anyone had this happen? I know most of my girls lay around the same time every year bur have never seen one lay but maybe a month earlyer than the year befor not this many months difference

As far as her being ready to lay again in such a short time, I have heard of it before. I think it depends on the girl and how big she is. There may be something to her laying slugs and not using as much fat storage because they slugged out :confuzd:
Not to be picky, but she can't be building eggs if she hasn't ovulated yet, only follicles that may become eggs if she does ovy.
To the OP - If she's glowing, just keep offering food, trying to pair, and watching her. Mine seem to stop glowing when they ovulate.
