They GLOW before they go!!!

Wow huge change. Good luck!

Sweet! Best of luck with eggs and your odds!

On top of the glow you can really see her building, I think you ate close to ovy! Good luck! :)

They go by their shed cycles and the preov shed is normally 9ish weeks before ovy, then 2 to 3 weeks until prelay shed then 27 to 35 days on average until eggs.
You can't have a preov shed 2 weeks to 2 months before eggs are laid, that's just not possible.
Depending on the size of the female it takes 10 to 12ish weeks from preov shed to prelay shed, then 27 to 35+ days until eggs.
There seems to be this notion that they don't follow a certain guideline.
For the most part they are fairly predictable, there is "from what I hear" females that do things differently, but in all of the clutches I've gotten in the last 5 years not one has done anything out of the normal shed cycle.

Actually, it's quite possible. 2 weeks to 2 months are not "from what I hear", its what happens with my females. With my girls, the only time you can start counting with any accuracy is after the ovulation. I lost faith in a reliable pre ovulation shed years ago. Better to just go with the actual ovy!

I don't recall when her last shed was..probably November. I forgot to log it like a dummy.

After the preov shed they go into glow and that continues until they go into prelay shed.
They cannot drop eggs weeks after a preov shed, it's physically impossible :gj:

Oh yeah. I don't expect it! I'm waiting for the ovy or her next shed if I miss the ovy.

I thought one of my girls was "glowing" but she is going back into shed again.
3 of my females all went into shed this week. I'm hoping this is a good sign.

I also got a pretty good photo of the one I thought was glowing. If anything changes after this shed, I'll get another shot to compare.
