So, tonight I was munching on an omelette for my dinner and a random thought occurred to me. I did some research but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. So here it goes.
Do female corns sporadically lay eggs without having been mated or do they only lay eggs when they've been mated with?

| Yes it has been known for females to lay eggs without mating. Obviously they will not be fertilised though. |

... My train of thought DID wander that way Louise. I think that's what put me off the rest!!
@gmac: Is it a common occurrence or a 'every once in a while' sort of thing? |

its not every day you see it  , some will lay sporadically some will lay every year. But not all females will lay so I wouldnt say it is all that common |
