After 5 days of waiting for her last egg to drop, in which she had a few warm bathes and no longer was interested in the lay box, I took her to vet. He stuck a needle between belly scales and extracted contents of egg. Within 24 hrs she passed the shrivelled remains of said egg. All is good and looks normal. She is pounding food again. Thanks again to those who posted advice earlier. Now comes hard part, patiently waiting for a clutch to hatch! Dave.

That's good news Dave... It does not always work out that way.

Good luck with your clutch

I can feel your anxiety. Glad the aspiration process worked well. I'm sure that was an expensive egg to have pass, but the main thing is that your female is well and will have hopefully many more years of healthy production.

Hey man thanks for that info! I have read where Bill Love used that proceedure but to be honest I was very skeptical about it. I'm glad it worked and it had such a quick result. That's awesome! Good luck with those eggs.
