Egg laying question

My female was bred and laid eggs (infertile) 2 weeks after breeding, that was on the 18th of Jan. I can see a new set of eggs in her but when can I expect this clutch. I was told she would lay every 15 days after the first clutch, so she is late. Am I correct in this. Also, should this next clutch be fertile? Thank you all.

The next could be fertile or it might not be, but don't worry on the time fram. I've had females go 24 days from ovulation to lay with no complications, just be patient and make sure she has a suitable place to lay the eggs. Good Luck;)

She laid yesterday and I saw the whole thing, it was wonderful. I am concerned about one of the eggs however. The first one out is just beautiful, nice and white, firm and has a great bullseye! The second one laid is smaller and only half full. I sprayed it and it seems to be perking up but upon candling, no bullseye and it seems clear. Gonna keep it baking to see what becomes of it. Wish me luck!:D
