It's been a late season for me also and I started pairing Late October. However, Last year was a disaster of a season for me! I lost one girl and her entire clutch due to her becoming egg bound and even a trip to an experienced vet couldn't save her. Also had one girl slug out and several more not take at all. Only ended up with two clutches and of them only 4 eggs survived. I'll take a late season over that anytime! I've got 4 clutches in the incubator now and I'm expecting 6-7 more in the next month or so.
