The first thing i would do before letting them near a high end male is get a fecal check done on them.

The odds are against you getting eggs from fresh wc females anyway,(unless they bred and ovulated in the wild).Some people have had wc females for up to five years before they bred and laid eggs.
This is why captive born babies are worth waiting for(only three years until they are grown,sometimes two).

WC are not so bad, but you should at least get them feeding before worring about breeding. It is too early for them to be off feed and breeding anyway. Consider treating them for internal and external parasites before putting you male pastel with them
