My females always stay on food after ovy and before laying

There is an even split - off feed is not the best indicator

Eating post ovulation?
I had a female shed and start glowing about 2 months ago. She ovulated on May 9 last year. I didn't catch her in ovy but she is pretty fat right now. She is eating small meals every 5 days still.
My question is this - what % of the time, in your experience, does a female keep accepting meals after ovulation? I am worried she has reabsorbed but she is pretty big and I keep catching her laying on her side, belly up, etc.

My females stop eating a couple weeks before ovulation and never show interest in eating after that.

On the upside, she is very fat right now... so perhaps the ovulation is yet to come! We are only 10 days past last year's date and we had a particularly cool winter/spring.
Crossing my fingers.

Re: Eating post ovulation?
Most people rarely offer food after an ovy...
I have had a few eat after an ovy over the years...Most were girls that were being picky eaters while growing follicles, which is why I offered food after an ovy in the first place...

My girls, too, have stopped eating a few weeks to a month before they ovulate. The ones that have a pre-ovy shed usually refuse immediately following the shed, the (so far) one girl who hasn't had a pre-ovy shed still started refusing around the same time.

Re: Eating post ovulation?
I had one girl eat all the way through, didn't turn down a meal so I kept feeding her and found eggs one day!

I am hoping for this or that she hasn't ovulated yet. She is FAT but not with a distinct swell like an ovy, more like she is gravid. Thanks for giving me hope!

Going through the same thing with my enchi girl. Showed all the progression signs and all of her behavior was spot on. Now she is 47 days after a what i believed to be a pre lay shed, and eating, I'm really confused. Just gotta wait it out I guess.
