Great work Gregg.



I have to ask, do we have anything measurable. That is, what are the facts. Time from copulation to egg laying, time from pre egg laying shed, etc. ALso where were the eggs deposited in relationship to the box?



Also what were the behavioral observations, like did she dig and dig and dig, or did she go down and come up in a timely manner, etc.



I think your doing a great job within the relm of your restrictions(working within a rack system) And please understand, that is important.



Also understand, there is only so much your going to do within a rack system. What would be interesting is for you to test outside those restrictions. You see, potential is based on not having artificial restrictions. You see, their natural behavior do not have our restrictions.



And Yes, I think what your doing is wonderful and needed. I thank you for sharing that with us. I also thank you for having the fortitude to offer your tests before you recieve results. That tells me your a really good keeper. Best wishes
