Think I could make an omlet?!?

Talk about a LARGE clutch!!! This girl ended up laying 32 eggs, with only one slug!! I am a little shocked, as I have never had a clutch that large before!!

She was 32.8 inches and 464g in Jan, and hasn't missed a weekly meal since then. I thought I had another month before she was to lay....second time a girl has fooled me like that. Will be interesting to see if she doubles for me.

That's certainly a large clutch-do you know what her weight was before breeding (just curious)?

Congrats on a great start to the '08 breeding season. 32 is the most I have heard of. A few years back I had a female drop a clutch of 28. She also double clutched and I got 18 more eggs.
I would bet your female will also double clutch and give you another 20-24 eggs. As long as she continues to feed as well as she has been.

Yeah, I think you could probably make an omelet or two. Did you say what her weight was before laying this clutch--just curious.

Of the 31 good eggs, all but two were showing blood vessels today. It has only been a few days, so I will candle them again next week.

So what is the largest clutch you know of from a western?
