Because that isn't the reality of the option posited.
The real options are breeding her before she can definitely lay successfully and recover easily for certain, and possibly stunting her growth over the next year, to produce a small clutch of eggs ( that reduce your odds of proving her out) over the next two year period. If she doesn't get her weight back on she should really be given the next year off.
And that is best case scenario compared to her either slugging out or having complications which might result in her never being safe to breed again.
You can still miss proving out a genuine het no matter the size of the clutch but letting her get up to the required weight and age means that you should get more eggs in the same three year period with less risk to the animal.
