    Thanks everyone ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is it time yet?!


    Jerry - she was highlighter yellow a few weeks ago. Before pairing her she was much closer to the color she is now. Did she just brighten up with age and now she's ACTUALLY glowing?

    edit:

    or maybe she's... DULLING UP BEFORE A SHED?????

    I figured I would update this thread as a learning tool for other newbies like myself.


    I thought for sure this girl had ovulated because I saw her get thicker even though she wasn't eating. Then I saw a big lump in her that I thought was egg building. The thing that was weirding me out was that the lump was only about 4 inches long in her body. I figured the lump would be a longer length of her body if it were eggs unless she had like 2 inside her.

    Well look what I opened the tub to today:




    Maybe those pics don't highlight it but she's MASSIVE. We're talking... wait for it... LIKE SHE SWALLOWED A NERF FOOTBALL.

    When people say "you'll know it when you see it" about an ovulation - they were not kidding. This is unmistakable. She's about as thick around as the wide part of my forearm. It's actually quite remarkable.

    What people don't talk about as much is that even up to a week before the ovy there is a distinct swelling in the mid body that you also can't miss if you're looking for it. This is not like "she looks thicker" this looks like she ate a tennis ball. The tennis ball seems to turn to a nerf football when the ovy happens.

    I'm very excited right now

    For more learning:

    First lock 11/19/12
    Last shed 12/30/12
    Off feed 2/18/13
    Distinct tennis ball swell 3/25/13 - 4/9/13
    Unmistakable nerf football ovulation swell 4/10/13

    ~50 DAYYYSSSS?!

    I think it's looking good?

    Good information. The whole reminds me of my big pastel. It's my first year and my first locks dates are about the same. I'm expecting to come home and find her like this any day

    ^this - there is poor information about the mid-swelling a bit before the actually ovy, so good you wrote this. I saw it on my two girls who ovulated a bit later after the swelling started, ish one week after I saw the swelling.
    Congrats, now the long wait really starts

    All three of mine have ovied and shed right on schedule. I should have eggs over the next few weeks, incubator is ready and all. As soon as they all lay I'll build the hatchling rack. Can't wait.
