Hello,
I've had these two lovebirds Cowboy and Chica for almost a year now. A couple of weeks ago I noticed mating behaviour and I bought them a breeding box. The next day they laid their first egg. Every other day (sometime they skipped two days) they laid an egg until the 6th egg without any problems. This morning I woke up to find the 7th egg laid in the floor of the cage and not next to the other 6 eggs in the breeding box. Not sure what to do. Should I leave it in the floor or move it to the breeding box next to the others? Any recommendation would help. I heard lots of stories before about not touching the egg with the fingers as the parents would not sit on it anymore but not sure if this is true or not. Please help as this is my first experience. Should I expect anymore eggs or 7 is a complete clutch now?
