How do I know my vield actually done laying eggs

[Fullytorked]

I've had dova for a year now and she is going through her first egg laying. It started this morning with her scratching at the floor an has now "looks" like she has finished. Only think I'm concern about it she just sitting there on the sand. Do I give her space or help out?

Do not disturb her--Leave her there in her laying bin until she is completely done.

She will probably resume normal behavior when she is done, so if you see her for a day or two and a lot of eggs are laid and she is hanging around acting normal, eating, basking, drinking, she is probably done.

How about at night? Should I leave the lights on or just run night light?

A done female is always dirty, thin, tired, hungry, and thirsty. You'll find her basking, looking much thinner, covered in sand, and probably desperate for food.

What kind of laying set up do you have for her? Is she digging?

You can turn the lights off like normal, she'll stop to sleep.

I normally turn off the lights at night. I've had girls sleep in the hole all night and finish up the next morning. When she's finished she will cover the hole, pat it down and return to her branches. You will want to give her a nice warm misting when she's finished and feed her some heavily calcium dusted feeders. You might find my egg laying blog helpful.

Agreed, she'll be eating when she's done! Always very hungry from what I've heard once they're finished laying.
