Kevin,
On average females lay eggs 27 to 30 days after post-ovulation shed (pre-lay shed).
It's hard to say just how many eggs they will lay. I would estimate 6 - 7 for the smaller one and 7 - 9 for the bigger one. I never set my sites too high. I'd rather be surprised than disappointed. In some cases you can actually count the eggs in the female if you drap her down in a relaxed fashion.
Last year I had one laying in a coil and I could count the eggs as she lay there. The problem is that I am a finger counter. You know...I pont my finger close to the object I am counting and as I'm counting her eggs real close like...1...2...3...WHACK! She nailed me like a bad thing! LOL! Not one of my brightest moves!!!
So warning. If you are a finger counter...don't do that!
Good luck and I hope everything works out in your favor!
Markus
