Scott, I know this may sound silly. How many royals do you have overall?
I expected more clutches from you!?  |

how many royals or how many breedable female royals?
To be honest I don't have that many 1200g plus females, probably less than 30 of my own ready for this season (we are in now) I also borrowed 20 more from two friends. I'm expecting 20 clutches min, hoping for up to 25.
Overall I have always been told by long term royal breeders to allow for around 30% of females to produce each year (long term average) Last year I hit about 90%, this year somewhere between 40-50%.
I know others have had 100% but also know of big breeders that have less than 10 clutches from nearly 100 females .
