Three Big Females Off Feed
Well, my three biggest breeder girls are all refusing their food now. Hopefully a sign of good things to come. I feel pretty large follicles in the Pastel and the Pastel Enchi, and I THINK the Pinstripe is due to lay tomorrow (30 days from suspected pre-lay shed). I missed her Ovy, but she went off food a couple months ago, has been sticking to the heat, and I haven't been able to feel her follicles for a long time. So either she re-absorbed or ovulated a while ago. She laid in December last year.
All my girls went to the same busy boy, as my 2014 males can't figure out what to do.

The girls make the tubs look so tiny.. Lol
I'm just curious as I should get my first rack a week or two after Christmas, and my biggest girl it's just over 600g.
41 quart tubs :)

really putting that boy to work! Good luck! (i hope the one girl lays any day now for you)

The Pinstripe is playing with me. I can't feel her follicles anymore still but it's going on 46 days pre-shed I believe and still no signs of laying. Maybe she reabsorbed her follicles or something. ):

What do you call pre-shed do you mean POST ovulation shed?
If your female ovulated she is not gonna absorb, so did she ovulate?
If she ovulated stop palpating a female that ovulated and if she is 46 days POS here is what you can do take your female out hold her head up tail down and turn her tail up head down, if she is 46 days POS you will be able to see the eggs and count them.

Hi Deborah,
Yes, I'm referring to a post ovulation shed. No, I didn't see her ovulate. I was speculating that I missed her ovulation as she laid December 2014 and it's been a year. She has been eating ferociously and put on a lot of weight this year so I thought she wouldn't re-absorb. She's been hugging the heat and has stopped eating for about three months now (she stopped eating way before it started cooling down here, as my racks get a few degrees colder during the winter, so I don't think it was temp related), and everytime I put the male in she flees from him, when before she was very cozy with him and very receptive to breeding.
After I palpated her one day and could no longer feel her follicles, I completely stopped palpating her because I heard it can damage the eggs. I decided to palapate her last night, which is almost two months from the last time I palpated her. I couldn't feel any, and holding her upright I cannot see eggs.
I don't know what gives! (:

Hahaha I tried to think of the nerdiest name possible because I didn't actually think I would become a regular poster on this forum. Now I kinda regret picking it ;P
