Yes, you should talk to your vet. She can develop health problems due to low calcium, so make sure she is on a good diet. Pellets are essential, calcium supplements such as cuttlebone, calcium blocks, MANU, etc. are necessary. Sometimes a slight decrease in the daylight hours (put her to bed an hour or two earlier--covering the cage if you have to) can break her "breeding cycle". Attempting to pair her with a male will not usually help, as his job is only to fertilize the eggs.

No! It is normal for hens to lay eggs. We had one that surprised us this way back in the early 1990's, as one day an egg appeared in the bottom of her cage. We gave her calcium to replace what she lost laying the egg. After she laid the egg and no others, we removed it.

There are 1,000 to 3,000 eggs in a female coho salmon, depending on the size of the fish. A female steelhead may contain 3,000 to 5,000 eggs, depending on the size and age of the fish.

A female head louse produces about four eggs per day and a total of about 88 eggs during her lifetime.

When your pullets reach about 5-6 months of age, if you will supplement the natural daylight with light bulbs to maintain a 14-17 hour day, you will be very happy with the extra eggs. Birds have a pineal gland behind the eye that controls reproduction. That, of course, is egg production. This switch is turned on and off by the hours of light the birds have each day.

Hens begin laying eggs at the time of sexual maturity, around 18-22 weeks of age. Peak age production usually occurs at about 28 weeks of age. In a laying flock, excellent peak production would be between 85-95%. This means that on a give day, 85-95% of the flock would produce an egg. After this peak in production, the rate of lay decreases about 1% to 1-1/2% per week. Several factors are involved in how many eggs a hen will produce such as breed, light exposure, housing and nutrition.

First of all, do not take the eggs away from her. She will lay a set number of eggs called a "clutch" and then she will stop and incubate them. If you take them away it will stimulate her to continue to lay. This will lead to calcium depletion and egg binding ( a fatal condition in which they are unable to pass the egg). Proper diet is extremely important for egg laying birds because of the risk of calcium and protein depletion.

We don't worry about this too much. Some breeders do, however, so will suggest a variety of methods, ensuring that the embryo has not developed or that cellular division is in the earliest formation: let the hen lay the eggs and remove them after 3 or 4 days of sitting and no more eggs. Throw the eggs out or blow out the contents for future use significantly reduce the daily green or fresh food intake for a while and reduce light length and temps, if you can.

The first thing you can do is to remove the nest if there is one. The hen may start laying eggs in the food dish or floor at this point. Next you can remove either her or any other birds she is with so that she is alone. If that is not enough you may need to move her away from all the other birds so she can no longer see or hear them. Sometimes even doing everything listed above will not help and the hen will continue to lay eggs.

On the months of June, July & August, if you take long walks on the beach at night after midnight, you could be lucky enough to experience this incredible sight; giant sea turtles come lay their eggs and then swim back into the sea. Do not forget to take a lantern with you at all times.

Buying parrot eggs is a very risky business. You may spend more than you would have in the long run because of the factors involved. First, the egg has to be fertile. Then it must hatch and the chick must survive. Unless you're a very experienced breeder, you may be in for a tremendous disappointment. Eggs must be candled, weighed, observed with an experienced eye, and may need hatching assistance which can be very tricky and a matter of life and death.

Desert Locust females lay eggs in an egg pod primarily in sandy soils at a depth of 10-15 centimetres below the surface. A solitary female lays about 95-158 eggs whereas a gregarious female lays usually less than 80 eggs in an egg pod. Females can lay at least three times in their lifetime usually at intervals of about 6-11 days. Up to 1,000 egg pods have been found in one square metre.

No. I understand some people can be allergic to these items in other ways, but acne is a bacterial infection, not an allergy. However, it is so easy to prepare food dishes with these items and have small, hidden amounts of sugar added. So again, the main food item may not be a problem itself as much as what someone adds to the food during preparation.

One to two days. Eggs are usually laid in the morning. Some hummingbirds have two broods in a season and a third is not completely unheard of. Unless true disaster has struck, the adult female hummingbird is still taking care of her nestlings. After they have matured enough, she is not going to stay at the nest as she did before. She needs to get food for herself and her young ones. Her visits to the nest will be very quick. Unless you are watching continuously, you may not see her at all.

More than likely not. It is quite common for a hen to lay the occasional soft shelled egg. It could indicate a lack of calcium, which some Grit would normally put right.

Between May and July, female turtles will leave the water and seek out soft, sandy soils in which to dig a hole, lay their eggs, and then return to the water. Unfortunately, turtles are often seen laying eggs on the soft shoulders of roads. The best thing to do is to leave them be, and hope for the best. The eggs will hatch sometime between September and October. Once hatched, the infant turtles' instinct is to head for the water.

One usual reason a fireplace will smoke lack of air. It's easy to check if the problem is lack of air. Just open a nearby window to create a draft and see what happens. If this is the problem, the air coming in the window will feed the fire and allow it to burn hotter and cleaner, sending smoke up the chimney. In an airtight home, you may need to open a window just a smidge any time you have a fire. An upstairs window is best.

This is probably related to cookies or session data, for example a problem with PHP's session.save_path [1] setting. See Log in problems.

Monitoring in hospital does not necessarily need to be excessive. A fetal heart tracing each day should be adequate (this is done in most hospitals for all obstetric in patients). The reason for admission is to be able to act in the event of rupture of the membranes and bleeding, not primarily for monitoring.

Laying is the opposite of backing. When you back a horse, you are betting it will win. When you lay a horse, you are betting a horse will lose.

Parrot is the new interpreter being designed from scratch to support the upcoming Perl 6 language. It is being designed as a standalone virtual machine that can be used to execute bytecode compiled dynamic languages such as Perl 6, but also Perl 5. Ideally, Parrot can be used to support other dynamic, bytecode-compiled languages such as Python, Ruby and Tcl.

No problem. We have tested our 1/2 inch tubing by kinking it 180 degrees at the same spot for 200 times with no visible weakening or splitting. So you could kink it repeatedly without a break. The only thing you have to do is make sure that the kink is straightened out before you turn on the water. Water will not pass through a kink in the tubing. Especially important if you are burying the tubing. Always use elbow or tee fittings when going around sharp corners with tubing.

The female lays thousands of eggs around August and carries them for 10-11 months. They hatch the following June.

Females will do this when they are calcium deficient. Go out and buy your parakeet a cuttle bone, put that in the cage near a mirror or something fun and she'll gnaw away at it. Also buy some vitamin drops and mix in 1-2 drops with her birdseed (stir with a clean finger or spoon). That way you'll help her build back her stores of vitamins. Egg laying can be very demanding on the body, nutrition-wise.

No. The incidence of infertility in men and women is almost identical. Infertility is exclusively a female problem in 30-40% of the cases and exclusively a male problem in 10-30% of the cases. Problems common to both partners are diagnosed in 15-30% of infertile couples. After thorough medical investigations, the causes of the fertility problem remain unexplained in only a minority of infertile couples (5-10%).
