If up to weight, would you breed a 1 year old female?

I'm just not willing to risk an animal not reaching her full potential simply because I was impatient and wanted to 'get ahead of the game'. I can't see that it's worth it in the long run. (I want all my females to lay 13 egg clutches, lol).

There's no guarantee that you are going to get larger clutches simply because you waited.

I know my animals and know when I feel they are ready. That is what I go by. Everyone has to make their own decision, but I'm not going to crucify someone if they decide to breed young females.
