Thanks Richard.. and I was addressing the "how long 'til ready to lay?" part of ticman12's question. That way 'he' could maybe relate a time-frame for the female activities that mayday explained in his response on the thread that I'm referring to here.



I think ticman12 was also curious about the "egg development/gestation" because this was the first 'activity' from the male especially(?).



Richard is that 6-8 weeks you mentioned based on "virgin" females.. or the term for 'first-breeding' of the season [ after they have been separated for a few months ]? Because it sounds like ticman12 has a 'virgin' female for sure. Either way that 6-8 weeks sounds like a short term.. or could it be "retained sperm" from 'last season'? I'm not trying to open a can of questions or confusions. Thought I better ask.



Terry
