How many clutches

[ajveachster]

I know it varies, but on average how many clutches do your first time breeders lay? We have 3 first time breeders, and this is our first round of breeding as well. One girl has laid 3 full clutches, and one clutch with a single possible viable egg. The second girl has laid 4 full clutches. The third girl has laid 4 full clutches, and is almost ready to lay clutch number 5. She is currently doing her pre-lay shed, and the eggs are very visible.

3-5, so I picked 4

I had 3 first year breeders throw 7+ clutches last year and 4 females throw 2. Most give 4.

About 4 I think.

I have heard the avg. is 3
Personally, some gave only 2 and some 4 so 3 is right dead in the center

I have one first breeder that have laye 10cluchtes all fertile, but my Incubator went wrong!

This depends on the female.
A huge proven female can easily lay about 5 but young females up to 4 clutches.

I currently have 2 SHTCT's and a RAPTOR first time that are on clutch 12-9-15 respectively. We have been really lucky so far!!!!
