I bred her with my blk pastel, and pin!! I hope she takes... This shits got me all jacked up!! LOL Now my pastel female is all wagging her tail at my lesser boy as soon as I put him in.. I hope he gets the hint.. Thanks for the replies..

Alan

That looks promising for sure. When did you start pairing them? Good luck with her.:cheers:

good luck very nice

Mid Oct for her.. She's been paired up prolly 6 or 7 times..

Alan

Wow thats fast. Stranger things have happened though.

You think she's just building??

Alan

Shes looking good....I caught one of my females last season doing that. She was gravid at the time.

That looks more like the twisting they do right prior to laying when they are getting the eggs into position.

You just made my night!!! I sure hope she is bro.. I'll shit my pants if I get eggs from her... Nice pic by the way.. So how long was it she went into post ovy shed after she started laying like that??

Alan

Alan that is way after POS. If that is what she is doing in the pic it is literally hours before she lays. Yours does not look like that.

Congrats Alan!

I took that picture on 6/03/08 and she layed 7 eggs 6/09/08.

She's still building then right...

Alan

id say shes plump wit eggs

She's still building then right...

Alan

Yes...Unless,you missed her pre-lay shed..(In which case you also missed the ovulation as well.Which was anywhere around 10 to 20 days before the shed)

Once the pre-lay shed is completed you can start looking for eggs after 26-28 days,or more.

Either/Or,...you have eggs one the way! :rockon: Congrats!

Sweet!!! Thanks for the help fellas..

Alan

What an awesome sight to behold.. Good job getting her done.

I love breeding season..

Most of my females I have found them laying like this 7 to 10 days before laying. I have some males and females that will do it if they are fed a big meal. If my females have been bred, like I said I dont see this until 7 to 10 days before laying. I dont always get a picture of it. I did get one picture last year of one female laying like that.
