Building or ovulation...another one

dempserg Apr 14, 2005 11:16 AM

This pic was taken at 2PM on the 6th of April. I had checked her before this at 8AM and afterwords at 8PM and she did not look this extreme, although the size of the building seems to vary a lot from day to day. Not sure if that normally happens or if it just changes due to the position of her body.

At the end of March she had 5 (that I felt) walnut sized follicles and was moved to 24/7 heat tape. The ambient room temp went from ~71 to ~85.

If it was an ovulation it isn't nearly as extreme as I thought it would be. Could it just be the way she was laying? She hasn't started a new shed cycle yet.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Keep us updated. Are you expecting Pastels this year? Continued success this season.

GOD Bless

Andre,

I’m praying for pastels. The male was a good breeder for me this year. He bred 3 females several times. I hope to get a few good clutches from him.
