44 days past prelay shed ?

balls4all Sep 24, 2007 11:39 PM

Just wondering what has been the longest time period a female has laid after her prelay shed? I have a female that has been off feed and big as a barrel, Today is day 44 past her prelay shed . The eggs dont look to have moved all the way down , Looks about 4-6 inches to go .I dont believe she is eggbound , Just wondering if others have had females go this long before?
Thanks bryan

Good luck

Thanks scott ........I was getting a bit concerned!
I amazed at the time frame between females that were all bred on the same schedule.Eggs cooking,One past prelay, and still waiting for a few to prelay.........And its breeding season again!!!
