Ziggy, Thank you so much for the information. She just laid her fifth egg on the Sat. the 22nd and I was unsure of how long to allow her to roost. The vet told us when we saw him on Nov 30th to bring her back after the first of the year. She has been laying eggs since November 21 and now has five. Thank you again, Nikki

My 12 year old grey just laid 4 unfertilized eggs in a two week period, for the first time. We thought she was a he and were quite surprised. After talking to the vet, he said not to remove the eggs. I had put a cardboard box for her to chew on as well as newspaper in the bottom of her cage because it kept her busy not knowing what she was about to do. My problem is she has laid on the eggs for 24 days straight, seems weak and eats little. The eggs are black from the newspaper print. Anyone have any experience with this? I don't want her to get sick and I am afraid if I remove her eggs she will lay more. Any feedback will be appreciated. She also has picked out all of her feathers on he chest completely. The vet said some of that may be hormonal.
