Are you sure it's a "she" and is she close to breeding weight?

I've seen marginal girls pick up going into the breeding season. It's like something clicks and they decide they need to get it in gear to make the breeding season. One of my pickiest ones started eating like crazy this spring so I left her with the male and sure enough she passed her better feeding sister up in weight and laid 7 eggs in September.

Incidentally, only 5 of those 7 eggs where fertile but the first piped last night. She is a 25% chance het albino breed to a now proven het albino male (purchased as a 66% chance). The first one isn't albino but hopefully one of the other 4 will pip with a yellow head in the next few days.
