Females go when they are ready, trying to get them on the same "schedule" for YOUR convenience is one thing letting the female doing their thing and go when THEY are ready is another.
Some female will be like clockwork every year clutch laid around the same time, some not so much, some won't go several years in a row either.
Personally I am just happy when they go regardless of the time of the year if I get a first clutch in February and the last one in october it's fine by me. :gj:
I agree with this. While I would LOVE my girls to go a little earlier, I would not sacrifice their safety for my needs. I'm just still in that phase where I like to see little babies all year (I have the hatchling fever bad). But, it's always something to be reminded of.

I've had females feed while building and some that fast while building. After ovy, I don't offer food at all. Granted, none of my girls were eating before they ovulated.
