I was told that most don't breed until they are 3 and rarely at 2. So if they did breed at 2 I would be thrilled. I just think in worst case scenarios I guess. I have a 6 year old pair here that has produced lots of babies and never got any this year due to the heat. She laid 3 eggs and stopped. They were too old by the time I took them from her. I sure hope this is our last year of drought and heat like this.
