Egg removal


Do you suggest taking each egg away when it’s been laid and not replacing it with dummy egg or not using dummy eggs at all


Answer:

Hi,

If this is a bird that you are not breeding, then taking the eggs away is one step to use. But stopping egg laying is the best method. You should move the cage around, and avoid food temptations. Also take away any nesting material.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
