1st lock until eggs is extremely variable. It's not quite like humans where the actual act of breeding triggers the development cycle.
Females go through a 4 shed process where the final shed is the prelay shed. Anywhere a few months prior to that first shed up until shortly after the 3rd shed if the female locks with a male successfully you can get viable eggs......so after the first lock could be 7 months until eggs or after the first lock could be 2 months before eggs.....all depends on what development shed cycle the female is in
Hope that helps!
How do you determine wether it is 1st shed or 2nd shed in the cycle ? (3rd shed in the cycle = Pre Ovulation Shed and 4th shed in the cycle = Prelay Shed right?).
Is it based on breeding calendar ? (ie : 1 shed in fall or winter = 1 shed in the cycle ?)
