    Re: laying eggs

    What type of animal do you have? I think it can vary based on the number of eggs and the health of the animal pre-lay. The decision of when and if to take the eggs to the incubator is subjective . Most opt for artificial incubation. Congrats and good luck.

    Re: laying eggs

    You can physically inspect the female for bulges at the back end as laying progresses - normally when they "wrap" the eggs they are done.
