I had a 2800 gram female give me 8 eggs last year. This year my first clutch came from a 1600 gram female and she gave me 7. I'd love to see how many she lays if she gets to 2800 grams. Also had a 1400 gram girl last year only give me 4 eggs, so in my opinion I have to say size is good, but some females make better breeders than others.
