Female digging nest 1 month after laying eggs

[Hjmledman]

My redfoot has been digging a nest two nights in a row. However, she laid eggs just one month ago. Could she have another clutch this soon?? I didn't think that was possible.

Yes. 4-6 weeks.

Wow!! Thank you!

Most of our adult redfoot and Cherry Head females lay up to 6 clutches a year between 28 and 60 days apart. Some may take off a year or two of laying any eggs.
