Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My females average around 22 days for gestation periods. 4-6 weeks seems a bit high but I suppose it's possible.......... I usually just mark the calender at 3 weeks (21 days) and start setting up for egg laying on day 18.
Glad you got your answer

Thanks Mike, greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the late response I gotta start remembering to subscribe to the threads I post on and reply to. The female ended up laying on the 20th day. It was her first clutch and she threw 22 eggs. Only like 6 were good, but thats still a huge clutch for a first timer, No??

22 eggs for a first year female is a good solid number. That number may increase with her next clutch though. (again in about 3 weeks).
Good eggs will be white and firm to the touch. A bad egg will be brown or yellowish, possibly dimpled and possibly look like a raisin in texture.

It all depends on the female. A female can have anywhere from 1-6 clutches in a year. More than 6 have been documented but they are very rare. The average clutch size can be anywhere from 16-40. It's basically impossible to predict how many eggs you will get in a given year.

Exactly!! Which means, start saving up for those huge feed bills!
