Prelay shed on 2/24. Calendared 3/23 as a likely drop date. She seems fine. I'm starting to fret.

Mine was due on March 28th. She layed on April 3rd. She layed 9 perfect eggs. Hope this helps. I was getting sad on March 31st. Keep the faith...

If she shed on the 24th you count 30 days. That would have made her due on March 26th. There are only 28 days in February. Mine went 6 days past her due date and I believe they can go up to two weeks past. Usually around 30 days from the shed is when to expect the eggs.

There is a good chance you mistook her looking big for ovulation and she has yet to ovulate! It has happened to all of us ( well at least many of us). If she is acting normal and does not look uncomfortable there is a good chance this is the case!
