Egg's Egg's Egg's Egg's!!!!

I have been waiting for this day for the past three years!! Lily as been in my collection the longest ( she got me started on Royals again ) I bought her 6 years ago as a yearling weighing 400ish grams she never seemed to put weight on even though she pounded food like no tomorrow. She hovered around the 1500ish gram mark for a couple of years but she did hit the 1000gram wall before that though!

Well I decided I would breed her Three years ago and no joy so I didn't think much of it I bred her again at the start of this year and repeatedly put the Male to her over the duration of a few months. I never saw her ovulate well I'm not 100% sure because she was 'building' which I thought was ovulation but everyone said it can't be because she is going to long ( Lasted around 3-4 days ) But the proof is in the pudding today :)

From the start,

It must be love

Thank you :) I like taking photos and its always good to have something to remember it all by ( I suffer with memory issues so photographs are great )

She was bred a funky Cinnamon called George, Last count was 5 eggs but I think she's packing 7 but I have left her alone for now so I can give her a good couple of hours to finish and rest, Then its in the cooker they go and Lily gets a bath :)

Congrats and may the cinny gods shine on you:gj:

That's so cool, congrats!

I always thought Ovy's were only 24-48 hours :S Which is why I thought it was building :D But everyone else did say that also.

Final Count was 8 eggs she was 2100ish grams before laying and now 1200 grams :( she looks ever so skinny now though but won't be long till shes feeding again and back up to her natural weight :D

I couldn't resist taking a few photos for everyone elses enjoyment and for my personal records.
