I couldn't really tell you mate, maybe they just never mated? If they are a good healthy breeding weight then it might be worth letting him have a few more days with the females. |

Assuming the females are healthy (ie age and weight wise) how long are you leaving the male in with them? When I bred Cresteds I left the male in with my two females for a week to ten days. I always got a good breeding seasons worth of fertile eggs from that period. _________________ Best wishes, Jackie
