Now, she doesn't have a male, so it was infertile. I realised the day before she laid it that it was going to happen. She was shredding paper a lot more than usual, hiding in dark spaces and having too much 'her' time (gross). She was also swollen in her vent area.
Then next morning, there it was. I had read up to leave it in case she sat on it etc, and if I discarded it, she'd keep laying more, but she ignored it. It was eerie, sitting there, bloody, in amongst broken eggshells (I'd given her eggshells to eat but she just picked them out of her food and chucked it on the ground).
That was last Sunday. She's only just started being friendly and a bit noisy again. She hasn't laid another. I discarded it 2 days ago after she hadn't touched it at all. But other than that, she seems to be okay. Her vent is still a bit swollen, she's not straining for poos, they aren't giant poos either.
I guess I just want your thoughts on it all, as I know they usually lay clusters.
All my google searching has given me so many diff answers, a lot of them really contradicting and some answers quite wankery tbh. So your thoughts on it would be great.
