Eggs after only 2 weeks??

[Coliosis]

Okay so we put Daisy and Maalik together and they did the deed...then exactly 2 weeks later Daisy lays 18 fertile eggs! Is it possible for these to be Maalik's babies?? Daisy was with our other male, Yogi, early last year, and laid 2 clutches. Do you think it's more likely that Daisy has retained sperm from Yogi and these eggs are Yogi's or could they be Maalik's?

to me eggs after 2 weeks is way to early, 3 weeks maybe.

Those would be Maalik's. Two weeks is plenty of time as eggs are developing. Aren't beardies a marvel ?

I thought 2 weeks seemed way too early as well, but maybe not!

Thanks for the response AHBD, so you've had eggs after only 2 weeks? That is crazy! Beardies are definitely a marvel! At first we thought they might even be infertile as we couldn't see a pink spot in the eggs or any veins, but we put them in the incubator and then about a weeks or so later I candled them and sure enough the eggs were filled with veins. Strange...I guess we'll find out in about 1 month! If they're normal (het hypo) then I'll know they're Yogi's, but if they're hypo (and het trans) then I'll know they're Maalik's - which I hope they are!!
