Eggs at the moment ( need help with Java’s )

[Fraza]

So good news is that my newish zebra the black breast Male has bred with my large British female and my black breast hen and they have laid eggs !!!

Then my society’s look like they are going to breed

Java sparrow had there clutch and now they have fled and are eating

^^ Thas the good news

Bad news :

The java sparrows have laid another clutch like seriously this was gointo he the last for this year as they have already had three, firstly why have they done this when the current fledgedcurch are still in the nest with them and are during weaning ?? Secondly how can I stop after this, I have fake eggs but they are canary eggs will this still work or will they know they are too small

I can't really help you with the Javas, as I have trouble with one of my females too, and I don't have any male Javas. There isn't a nest in her cage, but I have had her drop an egg from the perch when I was moving the cage. She is in a separate cage with another female Java next to her. If yours keeps laying, you might need to add some calcium. I sometimes add cal-de-solve, a calcium/magnesium powder added to her water. It is made by Avitech. www.avitec.com.

wildbird Yh she has a lot of calcium I have oyster grit , cuttlebone bone then occasionally egg mix but I also put vitamin liquid every couple week in there water too

It isn’t that she’s struggling to lay it’s that she’s laying too many

[wildbird]

Maybe cutting out the egg food would help, as long as she's not feeding any chicks.

wildbird yeah fair point I might try bone with this clutch they have laid they will cope with just lettuce and other things
