Cookies at it again - She is laying eggs and we don't know
what to do, We think they cannot be fertile eggs because
the male is not with her, We separated them because Cookie
was being very agressive about 8 weeks ago. Her first clutch
was 6 eggs 2 fertile, only one actually hatched and the baby
is fine - but now we are back to square one. We know some
birds can mate once and lay several fertile eggs but our
books do not mention this.

Putting the male back with the female seems fine but Cookie
harrasses the heck out of him.... sigh........

Any comments about this second Round of egg laying?

Thanks
