Zally is the undisputed greatest source of eggs from uncertain fathers in the enclave.
From the moment she was old enough to be put on the roster, it was very hard for Vizlet to keep Zally's matings restricted to just the males that were assigned to her in a given fertility period.
After a few frustrating years of this, Vizlet decided to strike a deal with Zally: she could mate with whichever males caught her fancy, so long as she stuck to her mating assignments on rare occasions where Vizlet did need to assign her to a specific male, or set of males.
On such occasions, Vizlet has learned that she needs to ensure the male in question is provided lots of nutrient-rich foods, as when Zally's "attentions" are restricted to a single male, she tends to tire them out; sometimes to dangerous levels.

Humans are fertile for half the year, not precisely year round. That being the fertile parts of their ovulation.
Mice and rodents in general are mostly where to look for literally year round ovulation. Considering yinglets are described as mixes of birds and vermin, the former being strictly seasonal due to strict diets and feeding pressures of young... I do not see yinglets having that problem less than a large brood's expected and gambled mortality rate if things go bad.
That being said, the field guide compares the process and anatomy with the chicken as far as batches daily that incubate together when time, but does mention without description a fertility cycle, so mostly we just know that there is one, rather than "any time."
I'd consider that it sounds like yinglet home country, like val salia, is mostly unchanging as far as seasons. By the supplied map, the northern arctic circle is defined but the southern nor the exact equator are known. Considering the Val Salian climate seems to be similar to Peru thanks to the Andes closely backing it, and assuming a generally earth sized planet, the yinglet home lands should be closer to the equator than not. There you do not get hard defined four seasons. More like two, usually "wet" and "dry" nearer the coast. For salt swamps that would make sense.
But that might suggest a more timer ticking situation, like humans and mice, than a "seasonal" or "part of the year" scheme like birds. Plus the behaviors would be vastly different if it was that... because... yinglets... would have a mating season....
Gods though, imagine the fuss. And the mess. It can't happen. I refuse to believe.

I agree with Ravenpuff, there really should be a way to give likes to comments.
That was a more detailed response than I ever expected to get just asking about the fertility cycle of a fictional species, granted I did also consider that I wouldn't even get a response, but it was no less appreciated for sure. You gave some good food for thought here, especially in considering the climate of the area. It never crossed my mind to consider, or even question, the overall climate and where Val Salia is situated on an (presumably) Earth-sized planet. Also, kudos in what you said about human fertility. I never thought about it that way, guess I'm too use to comparing it to fertility cycles of other creatures.
In any case, thank you for replying. Certainly gave me something think about in the future as I read through future strips of this series.

Well you done boned up, congratulations.
It is you, who have the better bones. Of a story. *Thumbs up*
Writer and worldbuilder myself, and you never know when minutia, random information, will be useful. Or pertinent, which congratulations on high accuracy.
Knowledge wants to be freeeeee

Zally is certainly an "enthusiastic." And given her comment there, it makes one wonder if this is a persistent problem for her and if she's always so "enthusiastic" about things. Perhaps its a simple matter of the general Yinglet rabble not being enough to satisfy her. If that is indeed the case, perhaps she would find it a more satisfying time with another. Like say a human, if she is so opened to the idea. Just imagine the stories Zally could share with the other females after her passionate night. Might just lure away more of the girls into seeking a good time.
This page shows the double edged blade of a comic like this, there are so many amazing characters, each with their own personality and quirks, they all deserve more attention and time in the spotlight, but the more time you give to one, the less time you can devote to all the others who are just as good and interesting.
What's worse is this problem is compounded every time a secondary character like Vesaria or the woeful baxxid character whose name escapes me just now, when we are given a glimpse into their lives we want more, which is good but again leaves less time to devote to Katajak or Lopin or even Kass.
So many woes and difficulties! Life is hard! Zally understands!
