Just for information, This female laid 6 eggs this afternoon. She never went off feed she just acts different (i don't know how to describe it) I think you will be able to tell when she is getting ready to nest.Len said:The first year my female laid an egg she had never been with a male, I found a single egg in her outside pen just laying on the ground, The next year still no male and saw no eggs, but she may have made a nest, not sure. I obtained a young male the next year, still no eggs or nest digging seen. I adopted a adult redfoot last Sept and had them together (all 3) inside for the winter, She laid 7 eggs in Jan and 4 more in Feb. not sure if none, one, or both males mated with her. The eggs are still in the incubator. With the setup I have her in for the summer I will probably never know if she lays eggs or not unless I find babies. In Jan and Feb when she was ready to lay there was no doubt what she was getting ready to do by her actions, so I watched her closely so as to collect the eggs before they were damaged. Basically, about time after mating for eggs I have no idea. Just watch for changes in her actions.
