I've always heard 1200 minimum. I think most people give it a 1500 g guideline to get larger clutches. 1200 is a healthy weight, but you might only get 3 or 4 eggs. Maybe not even that. And, remember, the smaller and younger she is the smaller the clutch will be. I mean like, forever. If she is a small girl with a little clutch, next year she may be bigger, but you could still keep getting that small clutch.

Keep in mind, it needs to be a healthy 1200 g's. Not a fat lardy.
