Esmeralda my Bull is right now laying her 2nd clutch of this year - go girl... Before there were any obvious signs of labour I noticed hissing noises as she breathed, as if she had an R.I. Noticed the noises with the beginning of the last clutch, so it must be that she is moving the eggs into position to lay them.

Has anyone else noticed this ? She is a big girl so mabe that is why I can hear it as I have not noticed it with the Hoggy who has also double clutched this year - and it is only May !!! Very Happy

Thanks Nick, I was beginning to think that I was the only one to hear 'strange noises' and that I was finally really losing it.... Rolling Eyes
