Well, as many of you might know, after laying 6 eggs over a week's time, about 3-4 weeks ago, Milly abandoned the eggs about 4 days before the first one was due to hatch. :(
We started removing eggs last week, one by one, as she also decided to start nesting again! :eek:
As of yesterday, we have two new eggs, which she is diligently sitting on, along with 2 of the "old" ones (which thankfully, I marked). I guess I won't be removing any more, though, as I don't want to upset her. After this egg laying session is over, I have been instructed to remove the nest completely, which will hopefully discourage the laying instinct. Who knows, I may be a grandma yet!!!! :o
