Turtles won’t lay eggs or swim back to spawn beach

Note

A fix is announced in the 1.16.0.57 beta changelog. We welcome feedback from beta testers on that fix.

Turtles when done breeding will not lay an egg, even if I made a newborn an adult and tried to breed that one. Once they are done, they just go in the water and swim in circles for eternity. I’ve found probably 15 pairs or turtles to try this and I cannot get it to work.

Turtles are going back to their beach for me, but don't actually lay their eggs, they just crawl around for awhile and then go back in the ocean.

I'm having this same issue. I cannot breed turtles, they just swim around forever whenever I try. I've tried to breed about 10 different pairs with no luck.

Same - IOS platform. I have a farm where I have bred many pairs and harvested scutes as they grow up. Newly hatched pair and 2 of the old pairs, all hatched on the island, now will not lay eggs after breeding

I have the same issue on iOS. I got a turtles farm in realm server which are working until the bees update. Now my turtles are pregnant but they don't lay egg. Now all my turtles in the farm are pregnant except for 1. And I'm unable to feed the rest of the turtles cause they are pregnant

Same issue on Windows 10. Turtles are pregnant, do not lay eggs. Tested on survival, and then creative world with spawn eggs.

An FYI to everyone watching this bug: once you get your turtle eggs in the new update, be careful how you hatch them. Due to MCPE-70664 the baby turtles can despawn immediately after hatching if you are a certain distance away. (The distance will depend on your world's simulation distance.) Please vote for that bug to show your interest in getting it fixed.

I played on Nintendo switch and this happens too
the AI of the turtle "freezes", she can't swim either

Confirmed that this is finally fixed on Xbox 1.16.1.  The turtles finally swam "home" and laid eggs! When bred in succession, sometimes they doodled around in circles in the water before returning to land, but they definitely had "go home" on the brain when pregnant.

I am currently on Bedrock - Windows 10 version 1.17.11 and this issue is still happening. I am trying to breed turtles, they lay eggs and then stop wanting to eat or swim around anywhere. I've managed to have them lay 5 eggs, but that's it. 

Ashley Brown: please make a new report if you are still having a problem similar to this in 1.17.30. We do not reopen reports for bugs that were confirmed to be fixed in earlier versions.
