Won't stop laying eggs

[finchandlovebird]

I have 2 white Zebra hens, who when they had a nest in their cage, laid 13 eggs. Now there are 4 eggs on the bottom of the cage; it's been at least 2 weeks since I removed the nest. Do they ever stop laying? Anything I should do?

4 eggs in 14 days isn't too bad.
If you are feeding them eggs, cut back to 2 or 3x a week.
Being hens they will periodically drop eggs, but you want to keep them out of breeding mode. So nothing in the cage should look like a nest.

Thanks Gary; you always have such nice & concise answers. Appreciate you replying to "newbie" questions. I will cut out the egg food; nothing in the cage reminds them of a nest; I think they're justing happily remembering when they had one. LOL

It is a good thing they are both hens.
I had a pair MF that I had to separate to stop the hen from laying eggs.
