Palpating is basically feeling for developing follicles in the females belly. I palpate a few times during the season. It can also give you a rough idea of how many eggs she'll lay. For example on this female I felt 5 definite follicles. So I should get five eggs.

I'm so excited! Pics to come as soon as she lays
