Sorry, bro. Don't mean to spook ya but I wouldn't say it if weren't true. Watch her and keep that calcium high is the only thing you can really do.

No. Nothing of the kind. There may, indeed, be a binding problem with any bird laying eggs. Taking that nest out would be a way to discourage egg-laying. What you are doing with that food supplement is trying to replace the "hit" your egg-layer is taking every time she lays an egg.

If she has a nest, she will likely continue to lay eggs. Any one could "bind" or not. At least that supplement will help her not suffer calcium/mineral depletion that will take place whenever she produces eggs.There will always be a chance of one getting "stuck" (binding) with every egg she lays, though.

Yeah, no problem, really. Just like humans and vitamins. You just take it in one end and the extra goes out the other! LOL!!

Be sure to have a cuttlebone in there. THAT is calcium. I'd also put in a mineral block if you don't already have one.

Watch that egg-layer though. Binding is a big problem and she'll need more attention than the others. That is when I'd go to the product you bought below. Make sure she gets the most of it. Overkill for the rest of them.

Well, do as you will but you know my thoughts on the subject.

Calcium to the egg-layer! If not, seizure / death will certainly be in her near future. Good luck.

Yes sir. That would work. A non-breeder, keep the calcium high is #1. Don't forget to get that make-shift nest out of there as well. Once you take out the egg, it will only encourage her to lay another if there is still a nest. Each egg will take a great toll on her body. That is why you really need that supplement. Egg binding (it basically gets stuck) could easily kill as could low calcium from a non-breeder.

Keep me posted, bro.

Just up the protein, then. CALCIUM as well. Just like Kiko, then. She is in a cage all by herself and has now laid three eggs. Never hatched, no nest. That is probably one of the worst things you could do.....make a nest. Laying an egg depeletes them of calcium more than anything else. With a nest, you are encouraging her to lay more once you remove this one or she finds it doesn't hatch.

Lack of calcium from egg laying can cause seizures. Watch it, bro. Easy way to lose her.

Kiko is about to lay her third egg. Keep proteins high and if you have a petstore near, get eggleyers formula. Toss it in their food dish. They lose a lot of protein dropping an egg fertilized or not.

Good luck, bro, keep me posted.

ps. If you are breeding it is a WHOLE other story. More advice to give on that front.

   ...any thoughts?

"Waite" (as in John?), I am not the "colosed"-minded person that has only had ONE freakin' topic since I have been here. EVERY post of yours has to do with Ripper?!? WTF?
J.D. at least has other topics. Yeah, maybe you are right. Perhaps he is more my type. You'd just cheat with Ripper anyway.
