Can you hold her under a good light and get a picture?

Good job. Wow she really did pluck herself bare. Can you give her some nesting material? Even just paper shreds will do, or hay, or grass if it’s not been treated or fertilized. I put some in the nest and some in a little box on the cage floor.

She will lay at least 3 eggs before she sits on them. Try not to mess around in the nest too much.

What else do you need to know?

Yes. Even after an egg or two she will come out. Then she’ll start sitting in earnest.
Do you have egg food?
