375. 2012 breeding season nearly over.
Our peak for egg production was June when the egg count was 62 followed by 58 in July. For August we had 16 eggs ensuring we should have a few hatches in September. Also one of our Bell albinos dropped a pair of eggs yesterday (01/09/2012). We also have a couple more females who look to be carrying eggs so possibly half a dozen eggs for September. That said we usually find late season eggs are often of poor quality and few go on to hatch; due to essential nutrient depletion from females who have already produce multiple clutches. Fingers tightly crossed.
