best advice anyone can ever give you about veileds...get a male.

The eggs are only part of the problem though, you have to worry about calcium deficiency all the time because she is constantly producing eggs. You also have to worry about her being eggbound. Females also tend to have a shorter life, due to the amount of stress of always laying eggs.
IMO a female is a lot more work than a male, and the don't look anywhere as nice as a male, But you are right, it is ultimately up to the keeper...
