Hi,

My budgie has had about 3 clutches in a row now and has just finished one,

she has started laying eggs again but everytime shes laid them i have been putting her eggs in with a nother budgie,

to make her stop laying eggs do i take out the male or take out the nesting box...if i do this and she still has eggs inside of her will she lay the eggs on the floor or will she get eggbound, i really want to take the box away but i dont want her to get eggbound im not too worried if she lays eggs on the ground im just worried dhe might get eggbound please help! thanks

ust take the box away, she may lay one or two more off the perch or on the ground but then she should give up

If I were you I would take the nest box away. Remove anything that looks like a nest (open food dispensers etc...)

If she lays an egg on the ground do not throw it away, foster it to another hen. It could be fertile/.

so she wont get eggbound?

No :budgiedance:

Why did you allow this ?

It is not advisable to allow them to lay more than two clutches in a row. It's bad for their health. I'd agree with the other and remove the nest box now. I had a hen who had problems laying. She became egg bound, then ate/smashed her eggs. I remove the nest box and she laid a few off the perch and stopped. Just remember to give her a big long rest and plenty of calcium rich food.
