Gravid Bairds

How long are bairds gravid? I never saw a confirmed breeding.. but my girl is fat and lumpy. She shed Monday, (I think)and has been refusing meals for three weeks now.

Thanks!!!

If she is with eggs, she should lay her eggs in the next week or so. (About 10 days after her pre lay shed.) You need to put a nesting box in her cage ASAP. A day or two before they lay their eggs, they start exploring their cage looking for a way to escape. It is a great way to tell that the time is very near. Good luck with her having a clutch of healthy eggs.

If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?

That is what I like most about this forum, attention to details! Great advice!

She laid today! (the nest box has been in there since the day I first detected lumps... LOL) She's still in there with them, so I have not counted yet, but the ones I saw are definately fertile, very nice looking eggs.

Thanks all!
