Don't know about order of precedence mechanism (not much research - sperm viability `eagerness' differs by variety, maybe?). However, she'd have plenty of time to sort through the candidates: http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Condor/files/issues/v098n02/p0414-p0417.pdf

They are soooo cute!

Another egg just hatched...that makes 12!!! 7 mixes and 5 Royal Palms. This one zipped right out quickly.

72 days..wow..I sure am glad that is NOT the case for humans!
I think there is a "take a number" machine in there =)
