    To be honest, I think a girl laying 10 to 14 egg clutches should be well over 3000 grams going into the breeding season, so although I don't think that minus 3 eggs is a significant drop in clutch size (for such a huge clutch), I would give her a year off because she seems a bit light for her size.

    With clutches that size, I'd aim for her to be maybe 3200 grams.

    Apart from that--yes, so long as weight is regained, and the animal's health and feeding have been good, fertility and clutch size are good, they can breed each year. As soon as that isn't the case, then give them a year off.
