    Female % to lay

    This is my 2nd year of breeding and I have 4 females above 1700 grams ready to breed. Im just wondering what percentage of your breeding females actually go that you want to go? For this year and future references should I expect 90% of my breeding females to go or is it much less? Thanks guys!

    How do you get 90% of 4 females? Cut off a piece of one?

    I said future references. I just through that percent out there, meaning will most of them go or no.

    It differs every single season for every breeder. I have had anywhere from every single one to not a single one. There is no percentage that you will find on this because there are way to many variables.

    First year: 3 females bred, 2 clutches.

    Second year: 8 females bred, 4 clutches.

    They go when they want to.

    We breed between 100 - 150 females a year and get an average of 70% of them to lay.
