Heya, recently took on a cockatiel named coco from someone who could no longer care for her. I was told she laid eggs every now and then.
since I have gotten her, she has now laid 6 eggs in three weeks. The first clutch was about 4 eggs every morning over four days - that was a week ago. Yesterday, another egg arrived, but there wasn’t one this morning until I let them on their play stand. I went to the kitchen to get them some food and came back and another egg. Is this normal to be laying every 24 hours? She doesn’t seem to care, and lays The egg on the perch and it breaks. I let her see the egg is broken when she wakes but shows no interest in it. I then remove it and clean the grate/tray.
I do have another female cockatiel who is one, but she hasn’t shown any signs of egg laying prior and doesn’t seem nesty like coco.
I have started to limit daylight and increasing their sleep time from 12 hours to 14.
I guess my question is should I be concerned her laying two clutches so soon and that she’s laying every 24 hours.
