I haven't had her very long. I bought her possibly bred. She shed just before New Years and since then as been on the hot side. She's been placed with my lesser male twice and both times shows no interest and no locks. However, when my male is with the pastel female I have on loan, he wastes no time getting down to business! So I know it's not him. If the shed she had around New Years was her pre-lay shed, then I should be getting eggs very, very soon! Incubator is ready and she gets checked on twice a day. Good luck on getting your own eggs! I'm hoping my girls give me black pastels (the female I've been talking about was bred to a black pastel male) and some lesser pastels!
