I want to know how often your first time breeders lay a fertile first clutch. Mine's split pretty evenly down the middle and I was wondering if others had similar results.

Also, feel free to share your reasons for picking the answers you did/stories of miracle clutches/stories of clutches gone bad.

Other than my first season (2009 is my fourth) I never get infertile eggs regardless of the female's status except when the female has laid three or more clutches without rebreeding...

My BB females only fertile eggs were the first 2 that she laid. Her other 4 have been infertile. We had a 1st time breeder last year that laid 18 eggs ( BIG shock that she would lay that many) and all 18 hatched.

i think if you have a healthy female with enough age and size, they should lay viable eggs as long as the male is also healthy and sexually mature. i think it is more a matter of a healthy animal with good husbandry, not being a first time breeder.

My gal's first two clutches had one fertile one not fertile. Then after that all were fertile.
