now i'm stumped. earlier this year i disturbed a cal king laying her eggs. i left her alone, checked backed the next day, and.....no eggs. this was her 4th year breeding for me, she's good for 8-10 eggs, weighs about 700 grams. bizarre for sure, but it's a cal king, so i shrugged it off. yesterday i had the exact same thing happen with a hypo hondo. anybody know anything i don't? the only odd thing i noticed in both cases was when i disturbed the female, the eggs she had laid were not in a clump, but scattered around the nest box. any theories? kurt d.
