Will She Get Eggbound

Featured Replies

Posted

My female who has successfully raised a family recently came into breeding condition again and is looking very pregnant. I have taken the nest box out (this was right after the bubs where 5 weeks old) cause I dont want her to have babies. Just a bit worried about her getting eggbound. Will she lay it when she needs to she doesnt look bothered or sick just pregnant. Do I need to put the box back in or will she lay anywhere when it is time I dont really want another clutch.

Mine lay a few eggs after I remove the box with out trouble, just keep an eye on her like you are, any problem signs take action.

She'll probably just lay them on the bottom of the cage or possibly in a food bowl - thats what mine generally do. I wouldn't worry too much, but do keep an eye on her just in case.
