Henkeli clutch size? 4 eegs at once?

mountain_goat Jun 30, 2005 10:22 AM

I've had an adult pair of henkeli for several years and they've laid several clutches of 2 eggs consistently each year. This morning I was amazed and delighted to fing a clutch of FOUR eggs laid last night! Has anyone ever had this happen? Is this common? Maybe it's because she's older? (I've had her for at least 4 yeas now) Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
