please god dont be true, cause she is really late for her laying, i have been a little worried about her, does anyone here have any knowledge about this?

ok so im freaking out now, she is very swollen more then i have ever seen could this be a issue?

What day is she on?


I have a female who looked identical. If she is say 10 days past her lay date, then you may have reason for concern...just be patient...

shes 55 days from ovulation!!

Did she ever have a prelay shed within that time? My gals begin to invert after their prelay shed right before they drop their clutch.

How many days has it been since her prelay shed??

not exactly sure i know it was atleast 2-3 weeks ago

i have females doing that as well and they laid fine i have 1 that was total invert almost total head to tail and she laid 7 perfect eggs with no probs .

i dont see it being a sign of egg bound to many of them doing it and laying with no probs ..

dont freak out cause thats not gonna do anything but cause you to make mistakes and act with bad judgement . just keep an eye on the days and calculations , i think you should have no probs

You want to record her prelay shed. She will lay about a month after that... Like I said, my girls look like that after their prelay shed and right before the drop their clutch. 2-3 weeks...I think you need to fire up your incubator. ;) She is fine, you are going to have a clutch within the week I bet....
