My female corn layed fertile eggs last year in Febuary 2 weeks after i bought her.
Ive kept her with a male since March, but i didnt follow any of the breeding rules of cooling them off over winter.
I can feel eggs in her when i handle her, but isnt it a bit late for them to be fertile?

| no,they can retain sperm for a year,also they dont need brumating to mate so they could be very well fertile. |

| I had a cluch arrive today but my first clutch of the year tured up at the begging of april (sadly they didn't make it) Corns don't really like obaying the rules and pretty much do as they please regarding these things. |

| you don't necessarily have to 'force' brumation, cooler ambient temperatures and the length of daylight can naturally cycle corns without much help/interference from us |
