Alright, so far here's what I've seen. The follicles seem to have gotten larger, but haven't the past few days. The female is less active and lays loose and slightly off center. As for males, I put in another male because the first male was seemingly getting "lazy". For some reason this next male would ONLY court the other male. I'd pull him and set him on the female in case he was "confused". He would instantly go back to the other male???? Something similar to garter snakes given off pheremones to keep other males away??? Once I removed the first male, the second male took about 10 minutes to concede his efforts to the female. She doesn't seem receptive to him, but he's courting/spurring pretty actively while she twitches him away. Hoping for ovulation soon, and I'm going to try my best to catch it so I can get some pics. I hope it's visual enough to see in a pic, if/when it happens. I can palpate 10 follicles by the way. I'll try to keep anyone that is interested up to date via the forum. I'm guessing with the lack of replies nobody really has these things nailed down, so hopefully anything I record can help all of us.
