    Breeding cycle timing questions

    After fertilization, how long do the females hold the eggs before laying? I’m basically counting backwards from when they were laid to see when the latest pairing COULD have been the one.
    Time between Ovy and egg laying is an average of 45 days.

    I know it is possible, but how common is it to have a dual sired clutch? Is it likely? Common?
    It's not a common things but it does happen.

    How long can the female retain viable sperm? Can it be held over from the previous season? Has anyone actually had this happen?
    (this particular situation was her first year, just wondering)
    A year or more and yes they can retain from a previous season, It has happen with one of my female a few years back, she did not take so I stopped pairing her and then the following season (about a year after I stopped all pairings) she ovulated.

    Somebody did the deed, just trying to figure out who
    The only way to know is when the eggs hatch.
