I personally like my girls to be at least 1800 grams.

I had a 3000 gram virgin lay 11 eggs her first season.
i was thinking about that thread and couldnt find it, thank you for bringing it up! its (one of several) reasons why all my girls are getting another year to chill and stuff their faces with ratty goodness.
