Follicle development...

Bighurt Apr 15, 2008 05:39 PM

Can anyone post pics of what female look like when they develope follicle's?

Is there a body position? Quite a few of my younger females have taken on a kinkled body position the last few days...

I was holding them till this coming season but they are acting weird now...

I really have no experience determining follicular devlopment in females, maybe somone could shed some light on the subject.

I do have an unused male that is going nuts as well...

Somebody help guide this padawan!

Only thing I can suggest is put the male in with the female and see what happens!!! If the male is going nuts, the female might be putting off that sweet smell she does when she wants to attract the boys!!!

You need an ultrasound machine to see the follicular developement.

Oh I understand that I was just wondering if there are body positions females take during development. I was more curious about the behavior than the biology...

Thanks

He he he . . . they usually take the body position of *on the bottom* : ) I think it's the stimulation of the male courting her that makes the follicles grow.
