Thanks for the replies. One other detail about my Cleo that's interesting is that her mother amputated her feet just below her knees. She doesn't mind though. She just doesn't have any perches but she can balance herself on a shower curtain rod. But there's no place to attach a leash if I wanted to flight train her.

Hello all. I am new to the group. I raised my Cleo from baby and was surprised to find an egg in her cage about 3 weeks ago. She seemed to ignore it so I removed it. Since then she had laid 3 more which I let her sit on for a few days each. The last one, I replaced with a large pecan and she acceped it as an egg and sits on it all day and night with a few breaks to eat and drink. I don't know if she is eating enough though as she seems to appear a little skinny. If I put her food bowl where she sits on the egg, she seems to gorge herself and clucks and makes noises similar to when I hand fed her when she was a baby. I was wondering if anybody else has had their hen lay infertile eggs and the right thing to do about it. I have read several conflicting articles about weather or not to remove eggs. Will she get tired of it eventually and abandon it? I dont want her to mourn losing them or if it even matters. Any advise on this would be appreciated.
