Last night we thought our female kak keeka seemed abit off, when we woke up this morning she suprised us with a egg there is no nest box in the cage and so she just layed it from off the perch and when it hit the bottom it cracked So we took it out. As the day went by she seems to have perked up and is almost back to her usual self. is she likley to have anymore eggs and if she did and in the future we decided to breed them how would this affect them eg/ tameness etc I understand that whilst they had the little ones they would be very protective but what about after?

I am not able to help you very much with this question as I have only just started to try breeding my kakariki...........I have not found it to make too much difference with the tameness but my birds are much more interested in each other than they are me Rolling Eyes

......I have recenly taken unfertile eggs from my pair and now the female is out of the box she is back to her normal self.........my male didnt change too much over the whole thing just fussed like a nanna over the hen LOL
