Breeding Younger Females

6/7/2013

0 Comments

 
I haven't had much luck getting females to lay eggs during the breeding season of their second winter. Most people have a rule of thumb, such as "making weight," before they even start introducing males. This season is different for me because I have the ultrasound machine. It comes in handy when I want to know which of the younger females (2011 hatch) are developing follicles.

One of them is this beautiful het red axanthic yellow belly female. She was produced by Tom Barnhart. When I saw her crazy pattern and rusted coloration I knew I had to have her. Now she is in the 1400g range and had 8mm follicles a month ago. After a couple lockups, she is now at 13mm and I'm confident that if she keeps feeding eagerly and locking up she will be a late layer this season....
