where are my eggs :(

Just posting about my egg drpression :(

though both my girls that have been locked up like 6 times each are in shed. One just finished the other day and the other is in shed.

I weighed Squez the other day and she was (normally about 1200-1400) 1600+ and she hasn't eaten in like 2 months :). So I am hoping that it was either her PreOv shed or :please: PostOv shed, and I should be seeing an ovulation here soon.

But any way I will keep yall informed. Meanwhile I will remain depresed that I don't have any eggs yet :( :confused:

If it's the pre-lay shed I believe you have roughly 30 more days....

Take this for what it's worth, as this is my first year breeding as well.

I believe I have one girl who's had her pre-lay shed, and since that shed, she's been coiled in a perfect coil on the warm side and hasn't budged. I'm counting 27 days from that shed to May 1. The other two also shed at the same time, but are not displaying the same behavior, so I don't believe it was their pre-lay sheds. They are, however both very "paunchy" so hopefully they'll gift me with their next shed being a pre-lay.

Watch your females, if they hug the warm side in a perfect coil, then start preparing. If they don't, it probably wasn't the pre-lay shed - keep pairing them (that's what I'm doing).

x2, even though it doesn't quite make sense...

I want eggs. :tears:

I'm sending you all good karma so your clutches (when they arrive) will be both bountiful and stacked in your favor.

:grouphug:

no. my male is an 07 my female is 05 or 06 im not sure on her DOB..

yeah I just paired Squez up with Coolio when she finished her shed and they practically ignored eachother for 3 days. So I think it was the pre lay shed. I will have to see where she is lying when I get home tonight.

I have a girl that is an early ovulator - usually my first of the season to go - she consistently lays late - I was told it was probably because she ovulates before I warm my racks back up so the cooler temps makes her "cook" longer.

Well this year I decided to give her her own heat - started heating her up a week before she even ovulated - and yeah she is now a week late looks like business as usual - sooooo frustrating - she doesn't even have a great clutch - just a dinker project - but it so drives me crazy.

I'm waiting on 3 girls. One had her pre-lay shed and should go in another week or so, the other had her prey-lay shed the same time as one of my other clutches in the incubator, she's coiled, she's looking ready but no eggs yet. :( The last one is doing everything exactly like the others (coiling, bowl wrapping, hiding herself away which isn't like her at all) but since we never managed to catch a lock with the male - who knows on that one this year.

I wonder if I showed the girls my two clutches in the incubator if that would move them along - the wait is killing Mike and I. LOL
