    Breeding question

    When 2 males father a clutch, is that just a random thing or is there a way to increase the chances of it happening?

    Unless you have some ability to help her use the stored sperm, it's random.
    I've bred multiple males to a female for several seasons and have yet to have a multi-sired clutch.

    The best way to get a split clutch is putting the males in back to back...Each time you introduce them, as soon as one male unlocks through the other in.

    What's the rationale on this? I'm more curious than anything.
