Egg advice

[Skum]

Hello, Ivan has laid 4 eggs, the last one a week ago. I assume this finishes the cuve. She still sits on them vigilantly in the evening but during the day comes out of her cage to hang around with me as if everything was eggless. Could someone tell me when it'll be ok to remove them. I don't want to upset her or for her to lay more

That´s a good sign. I always worry when my girls refuse to leave the nest and won´t exercise.

Remove the eggs 3 weeks after brooding began. When you remove the eggs, shuffle the cage around, moving perches, food bowls and toys.
If she abandons the eggs before then you can remove them earlier.

Is there any chance that these eggs could be fertile?

OK, thanks, I'll wait another week. She's happy and the eggs are a great conversation piece

No, she's single
