I am up and down like a jack in the box chasing her away from places she shouldn't go. There was that time when I found her behind the cupboard. We had to change our furniture to stop it happening again!!

Oh dear.... she's started pushing & straining again... I let her out the travel cage & she had a fly around, seemed fine, even had a rumpy-pumpy session with Bezukhov... Now she is how she was this morning.  |

i think you are panicking over nothing,leave her in the nest box so she can lay in peace or she will abandon the egg ,all eggs are soft when a hen of any bird species lays an egg they harden on contact with the air,when her back end is pulsing like you say she is moving the egg along her vent,i am sure she will be fine

Sweetpea is not breeding her budgies. This probably should have gone in the "health" section actually. I'll move it.. |

how was she before bed SP? She came out the cage & had another little fly. I wanted her to go back into the Ferplast but she kept wanting to come out & a couple of times just sat on my finger & dozed. She hasn't eaten but I have seen Bezukhov feeding her. She licked some water (with calcivit) off a spinach leaf. Tonight Raspy & Bezukhov are in the Ferplast. Cagney & Atilla are in the Manor. Still no egg laid..... We'll see what tomorrow brings..... Hopefully less worry than today....  |

Sounds as bad a prolonged labour, Sweetpea! And you are the anxious hubbie prowling the corridors of the hospital!
Hopefully your vet is right and it is just working its way down. Would it help her at all to give her something like a nest-box?
I am waiting to hear "mum and egg are doing well". Good luck, C'mon Raspy, push!
