I've never kept track of my males gram weight on their first breeding but I've had 100% success when my females get to 125gr. My males are the same size on their first breeding so I would assume that they'd breed around the 100-125gr range on their first breeding. On a side note, when you breed a female at 125gr you'll only get 2-4 eggs and it really depletes their body weight making it almost impossible to get a second clutch. I'd suggest that if you breed a young female to not try double clutching her and just concentrate on putting on more body weight for the next season. This will ensure that you'll get more egg production out of her during the next season
