Thankfully Kyliegh hasn't laid anymore eggs. I am dialing back the amount of egg she's getting. I gave her egg everyday once a day. She is only going to get egg every other day for a week or so then probably twice a week. At the same time I am trying to find dry foods that will give her what the egg gives her. Hopefully that will decrease the hormones and keep her from laying more eggs.
I also want to give Kyliegh foods that will help her molt without laying. She'll still have egg twice a week. I know she'll need protein like crazy though once the molt really kicks into high gear.
Kyliegh loves walnuts. They are her absolute favorite. I made her a mix of unsweetened coconut shavings, almonds, pine nuts, the flax/chia/hemp seed mix, and of course walnuts. When I go shopping tomorrow I am going to add pecans and more walnuts too. I am going to buy some bananas, oranges, kiwis, and maybe some other fruits to dehydrate. I will add those fruits to Kyliegh's mix once they're dehydrated.
Kyliegh isn't the most food motivated bird I've ever worked with. Between the treat mix and perhaps a sunflower seed or two here and there I hope to get her to go in her cage and spend the night in it. She really hates staying in it. If I keep her in for more than 15 minutes she'll scream until I take her out. I have to give her a reason to want to stay in it at night. It may take a long time but Kyliegh is worth it.
