Thanks Bill.. I meant to ask you about this when you returned my call last night.



Naturally I don't want to lose any good eggs.. and I wouldn't be surprised that she has a dozen developing in her. Traditionally they have at least 2 more clutches for this 'season'.. which could easily mean 14-16 eggs. When the Oxyctocin kicks in does that mean she will nest as usual or just start dropping them where she happens to be.. developed or not? She couldn't dig a nest big enough to handle all of the ones in her now! In other words will she expel all that are in her.. or just those that are "due"??



My concern for her health far overrides a clutch of eggs.. that's not brain science or rocket surgery tho.. is it?



Thanks again...
