Absorbed eggs?

snakeball Jun 12, 2007 06:14 AM

I have a female that ovulated and just completed her shed. She has thinned out and I cannot feel eggs anymore. I could definitely feel 4 solid eggs/follicles before and during the ovulation period. Is it possible to absorb the eggs even after ovulation?

My one female felt the same way, she laid five nice eggs 45 days after her pos. The eggs are very soft and hard to feel. Give her time, if you saw ovulation for sure then you will get eggs. The wait is killer. Best of luck.

Once she ovulates somthing is coming out. It will either be good eggs or slugs. They can absorb follicles but not eggs.
