Tawny Lays First Egg.
Sunday, 5 April 2009
Great news, at around 5.19 this morning the female laid the first egg. Hopefully a few more will follow at intervals of up to 48hrs. Shortly after laying the egg she left the box and returned 40 minutes later. She has since been lying up at the back of the box, where I'd expect her to remain for the rest of the day.
I'll post more photos as and when she lays more eggs. The female should start brooding once the 2nd egg is layed, with the first hatching taking place around 30 days later.
