ovulation question

jgriffi May 14, 2004 10:45 PM

If I'm corrective I believe that my BP ovuated on or about the 1st of the month. She shed today and my question is do they normally shed within 2 weeks of ovulation. Not exact but guesstamate. If this is the pre lay shed then it should be another 3-4 weeks before eggs, is that correct?
Thanks

Here are some approximate dates for you...

Post-ovulation shed is roughly around 20 days after ovulation...

Eggs are laid roughly around 24 - 34 days after post-ovulation shed...

Eggs hatch roughly 53 - 60 days after being laid (at 89 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit)...

Many factors can influence these numbers...
Temperature is probably the most significant influence...

Hope this helps...
