That would be fairly normal.

Start pairing and hopefully fairly quickly they start to grow follicles, then shed and go through that period growing follicles, then preov shed, glow, ovulate and go into prelay shed, then 30-35 days to eggs.

This is a fairly standard season but some will take longer to begin to grow follicles, stretching their season out another shed period.

And then some just never grow them, and some will grow them and absorb them, it's all a roll of the dice and if they are healthy with good body mass, and everything goes right, you get rewarded
