length of retaining sperm?
Assuming all goes well with quarentine this year and we get breeding, my question is for next season. I know that females retain the males sperm but for how long. This year I'm breeding bell to a blizzard, but next year want to breed her to a hypo tang. Would she be good next spring to breed to the hypo? I've had females before lay non fertile eggs as they were with no males, so would I just watch for unfertile eggs next year or will she stop laying at the end of the season? Oh, our girls will only be visiting the guys for breeding.
